A fascinating new series of classic and original stories which are sure to capture the readers' imagination. An unnamed narrator listens to a male friend reading a manuscript written by a former governess whom the friend claims to have known and who is now dead. The manuscript tells the story of how the young governess is hired by a man who has become responsible for his young nephew and niece after the death of their parents. He lives mainly in London and is not interested in raising the children himself. Teachers Pack (Teacher‘s Book, Student‘s Book, Glossary).
