Part of the Chiltern Classics range. Ambitious student Victor Frankenstein lights upon the secret of creating life. However, having succeeded in his aim, Frankenstein recoils in horror from the 'demoniacal corpse' he has made. Craving acceptance and affection but met only with rejection, the monster wreaks his revenge on his creator, who finds that power brings responsibility, and that playing God is a dangerous game. Part of the Chiltern Classics range. Chiltern are publishers of exquisitely crafted editions of the world's finest classic literature. These beautiful books are a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques. With wonderful original, detailed and embossed covers, sparkling gilt edges, cream art paper, ribbon markers and stitched binding they are simply the most beautiful classics ever published. This book has a matching lined journal (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own.
