This early work by Henry James was originally published in 1908 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Henry James was born in New York City in 1843. One of thirteen children, James had an unorthodox early education, switching between schools, private tutors and private reading.. James published his first story, 'A Tragedy of Error', in the Continental Monthly in 1864, when he was twenty years old. In 1876, he emigrated to London, where he remained for the vast majority of the rest of his life, becoming a British citizen in 1915. From this point on, he was a hugely prolific author, eventually producing twenty novels and more than a hundred short stories and novellas, as well as literary criticism, plays and travelogues. Amongst James's most famous works are The Europeans (1878), Daisy Miller (1878), Washington Square (1880), The Bostonians (1886), and one of the most famous ghost stories of all time, The Turn of the Screw (1898). We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Spencer Brydon returns to New York City after over 30 years abroad. He has agreed to demolish his old family home and move to an upmarket apartment building. Before the house is demolished, he begins prowling the house at night. Brydon discovers that he might have been an astute businessman if he hadn't taken the option of a more leisurely life. He discusses this with his friend, Alice Staverton, who has always lived in New York. Meanwhile Brydon begins to believe that his alter ego—the ghost of the man he could have been—is haunting the "jolly corner", his nickname for the old family house.
