FRANKENSTEINby Mary ShelleyAbridgment by Jeffrey JacksonNote from Jackson:This abridgment is approximately one-fifth the length of the original novel. The vast majori-ty of the words over ninety percent, I would estimate are Mary shelley s, althoughrearranged in some passages. I have omitted only one minor character (Safie, the daughter-in-law to be of the blind man) and a few others who do not actually appear in the novel butare only spoken of by other characters ( : Walton s first mate). I placed priority on thepreservation of the style of the original language, the words actually spoken by the charac-ters, and key descriptions of moods, actions and settings. No changes have been made to theevents of the story : Captain WaltonSeptember 2, 17 My beloved sister,I write to you encompassed by peril and ignorant whether I am ever to see you again.
