There can be few books as wellknown as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Adapted for stage, film and radio over 100 times, this chilling gothic tale is thought by some to be the very first science fiction novel. For Folio’s fabulous limited edition, the authoritative 1831 text has been bound in iceblue leather and illustrated with intensely brooding colour plates by Angela Barrett.

Limited to just 750 handnumbered copies, each signed by the artist, Mary Shelley’s darkly disturbing tale is newly introduced by Richard Holmes. Barrett’s contribution to this stunning limited edition is extraordinary. Created in series with her remarkable illustrations for Dracula, the eight colour plates, each one full of foreboding, are set within elaborate blackandwhite borders.
