Excellent product. The designs are eye-catching and beautiful without being gaudy. The book itself is of great quality, durable and well made. Highly recommend.

Productdetails
There can be few books as well-known 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. Written in 1816, when Shelley was just 18, her story of a hideous monster of superhuman strength is indebted to contemporary scientific experiments and philosophical debates and is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling. Artist Angela Barrett has contributed eight ominously unsettling illustrations for our edition. Created in series with her remarkable illustrations for Dracula, each one is full of foreboding and set within an elaborate hand-drawn black-and-white border. Nine vignettes represent further aspects of the story, and Barrett’s work is completed with a striking binding design. Award-winning biographer Richard Holmes has contributed an exclusive introduction focusing on the scientific influences and cultural repercussions of the novel.

This was to replace a previous Folio version, lent to a grand-daughter, who is studying it at school. This is a handsome edition but I don't much like the illustrations which are so dull and murky that it is hard to make them out. A shame because I usually like Angela Barrett's work very much. Not your best work, Folio.

I purchased Frankenstein from The Folio Society, and I couldn't be more pleased. The book is of outstanding quality—the craftsmanship truly justifies the price. Delivery was quick and went perfectly smoothly. I highly recommend The Folio Society and will definitely order from them again without hesitation!

It looks very fancy, great addition to my bookshelf. Expensive and shipping is a lot (it charges per book) so I'll have to build my library slowly, but it's a glorious thing to hold.

My daughter is a true fan of Frankenstein, she has multiple copies but her two different Folio Society copies are her favourites. The paper, the illustrations and the binding have an outstanding quality which makes the experience of reading this classic enchanting.
