"Vintage Monsters" is a limited edition gift pack which consists of beautifully designed separate volumes of "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley and Jeanette Winterson`s "Sexing the Cherry". "Vintage Monsters" is just one of ten "Vintage Classic Twins" to collect. Each twin consists of two books: a specially designed limited edition of one modern classic title and one established classic work. The books in each pair have been carefully selected to provide a thought-provoking combination. "Frankenstein": One freezing morning, a lone man wandering across the artic ice caps is rescued from starvation by a ship`s captain. Victor Frankenstein`s story is one of ambition, murder and revenge. As a young scientist he pushed moral boundaries in order to cross the final scientific frontier and create life. But his creation is a monster stitched together from grave-robbed body parts who has no place in the world, and his life can only lead to tragedy. "Sexing the Cherry": "Sexing the Cherry" follows the adventures of Jordan, an explorer, and his mother, the gigantic and violent `Dog Woman`. Jeanette Winterson`s stunning novel celebrates the power of the imagination as it juggles with our perception of history and reality; love and sex; lies and truths; and 12 dancing princesses who lived happily ever after, but not with their husbands.
