Frankenstein, The Cottagers
A winter spent watching a poor family through a chink in the wall, learning their language and their history, and asking one thing in return.
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.
