The Island of Dr Moreau
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1946.
A shipwrecked man finds himself, after various twists of Fate, on a lonely tropical island. From a locked enclosure the cries of animals in pain can be heard, and there is a stink of chemicals in the air. Bestial faces stare out of the forests and grotesque, misshaped creatures move in the gloom. In this island paradise, the horrific experiments of the infamous Doctor Moreau will reach their inevitable conclusion.
Condition grading: Good. Losses at spine ends. Minor foxing to both covers. Light crease to front cover top corner. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
