Frankenstein : Abridged for Young Readers

"I, Victor Frankenstein, will explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation...".

Driven by a boundless ambition to create life itself, young scientist Victor Frankenstein creates his own being from stitched-together body parts.

But when he succeeds in bringing his creature to life, the result is horrific; a towering, hideous-bodied monster with the innocent soul of a newborn child. Spurned by its creator and rejected by society, the initially gentle creature turns on its maker and wreaks a trail of vengeful murder and tragedy.
