But a bond swiftly develops between these two misfits as their bloody journey takes them ever northwards on the trail of their target … Victor Frankenstein. A gripping, gothic novel.

Roald Dahl Musicals
A glittering line-up of wickedly funny - and occasionally revolting! – musical productions adapted by the legendary Roald Dahl. A review in Music Teacher (UK) says: ‘It is very difficult to pinpoint an aspect of performance which these musical packages do not address...(These are) completely foolproof musicals, which could be used and adapted by the most inexperienced of directors...undoubtedly an inspired resource’.Based on orchestral commissions by the Roald Dahl Foundation. Schools can use the extracts provided from the orchestral work to enhance their performances. Schools can buy performance licences online from: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/education/acblack-music/musical-licences/ Age Range: 7+ years
