Frankenstein, The Northern Islands
Down the Rhine and across to England, then north to a bare island of three huts, a promise weighed, and a long crossing by sea.
Retold for sleep from Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley, first published in 1818 and long out of copyright. The story is Shelley's; every sentence here is our own.
Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
