A wonderful new collection of Henry James's short stories about Americans in Europe.

Daisy Miller is one of Henry James's great heroines—a young, independent American travelling in Europe, whose flouting of social conventions has the potential to lead to disaster. Her story is here accompanied by six more tales set among English castles, Swiss hotels, and French ports, all riffing on a classic Jamesian theme: the clash between the old world and the new, Europe and America.
