PAPERBACK
Author: Tanya Landman
MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN: A RETELLING brings this famous Gothic story to life in a clear and accessible way. The novel follows Dr Frankenstein, a young scientist whose desire to unlock the secrets of life leads him to create a living being from dead body parts.
At first, the creature is gentle and curious, but when he is rejected and treated with fear, his loneliness turns into anger. As his wish for friendship and understanding is denied, the story becomes a powerful tale of responsibility, kindness, and the dangers of going too far in the name of ambition.
Tanya Landman’s retelling keeps the drama and emotion of the original while making it easier to read and understand. By focusing on the key events and themes, it allows more readers to experience this classic story without being overwhelmed by complex language.
Perfect for schools and readers new to classic fiction, this version of Frankenstein is both thrilling and thoughtful. It’s a gripping story about creation, compassion, and the consequences of our choices.
