The Turn of the Screw can be interpreted in more than one way. The Turn of the Key provides more specific answers to some aspects, but leaves questions for the reader. Both books are clever is their own unique ways. I love them both and I was scared witless :-)

The Turn of the Screw was written before 1923. Any book written before this date is no longer in copyright. A writer can use any part of these books in whatever ways they like. And publishers can reprint these old books without having to pay for rights. That's why there's so many editions of these books from different publishers.(less)
