The Pilgrims

A knight, hiding from his past, lives alone in an isolated mountain fortress. One day, he gives shelter to two pilgrims and tells them of his sorrows. But the pilgrim’s true intentions are not what he thinks, and their revelations will change his past and transform his future.

'The Pilgrims’ (1838) is a classic, short story by the English writer Mary Shelley, famous for her best-selling novel ‘Frankenstein’.

Mary Shelley (1797–1851) was an English author and travel writer best known for her ground-breaking Gothic novel ‘Frankenstein’ (1818).

It has been adapted for TV, stage and film on many occasions, with Boris Karloff famously playing Frankenstein’s monster on screen in 1933. Other adaptations include ‘Mary Shelley's Frankenstein’ (1994) starring Kenneth Branagh and Robert De Niro and ‘Viktor Frankenstein’ (2015) starring Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy.
