This wonderful series is a quick way into a range of exciting stories, from the chilling tale of Frankenstein, to the gripping adventure of Treasure Island and the powerful animal story of Call of the Wild.

Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original. "Frankenstein", first published in 1818, is the chilling story of a scientist, Frankenstein, who succeeds in creating a fearful monster, only to find that the monster holds a terrible power over him and the people he loves.
