considered to be one of the finest novels ever written. Rejected by fifteenth-century
Parisian society the hideously deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo believes he is safe under the
watchful eye of his master the Archdeacon Claude Frollo. But after Quasimodo saves the
beautiful Romani girl Esmeralda from the gallows and brings her to sanctuary in the cathedral
his and Frollo's mutual desire for her put them increasingly at odds before compassion and
cruelty clash with tragic results. Dracula Frankenstein and The Shadow in The Corner and
Other Classic Ghost Stories are also available in this series of gorgeous pocket-sized
paperbacks from Macmillan Collector's Library which celebrates the very best Gothic and horror
literature teeming with monsters misfits and ghosts.
