Synopsis

Is she protecting the children—or losing her mind?
A young governess is hired to care for two orphaned children at a remote English estate. At first, life at Bly House seems idyllic—until she begins to see shadowy figures watching from the grounds. Convinced the children are in danger from malevolent spirits, she fights to protect them. But as the tension mounts, one question becomes unavoidable: Are these ghosts real, or is she descending into madness?

First published in 1898, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a masterclass in psychological horror, blending gothic atmosphere with unsettling ambiguity. Its haunting ending has sparked debate for over a century, making it one of the most discussed ghost stories in literature.

    Despite its optimistic title, Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well has often been considered a "problem play." Ostensibly a comedy, the play also has fairy tale elements, as it focuses on Helena, a virtuous orphan, who loves Bertram, the haughty son of her protectress, the Countess of Rousillon. When Bertram, desperate for adventure, leaves Rousillon to serve in the King's army, Helena pursues him.

    John Davys Beresford was born on 17th March 1873.  His life was blighted by infantile paralysis which left him partially disabled. 
After an education at Oundle school he trained to be an architect.  However, he quickly decided that his life was to be centred on a literary career.  His first offerings were in drama and as a journalist. 
As well as being a book reviewer for the Manchester Guardian he contributed to New Statesman, The Spectator, Westminster Gazette, and the Theosophist magazine The Aryan Path.   
His spiritual journey in early adulthood had claimed him as an agnostic, in defiance of his clergyman father.  This view he later abandoned in preference to describing himself as a Theosophist and a pacifist. 
As well as many novels, many themed with spiritual and philosophical elements.  Beresford was also a gifted short story writer particularly across the science-fiction, horror and ghost genres. 
All of these elements helped him to obtain a prominent place in Edwardian Literary London. 
John Davys Beresford died on the 2nd February 1947. He was 73.
