Young Victor Frankenstein and his creations: Book 1 of 6 - The Grand Castle Open Day

Young victor frankenstein and his creations

Book 1 of 6 – The grand castle o pen day

summary of this first book in the series is as follows::

Eight-year-old Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young inventor, lives in a grand, slightly eerie castle with his creation, Nutty Bolt—a friendly, patchwork monster made from spare parts. Despite the villagers' initial fear, Victor organizes an open day to introduce them to Nutty. The event starts nervously, but Nutty wins everyone over with his quirky charm, spinning arms, and monster dance. The villagers, including skeptical Old Farmer Jenkins and curious children, are amazed by Victor’s inventions, like Whirly Gig the mechanical bird and Tick Tock the clockwork dog. By the end, the villagers embrace Victor and Nutty, offering supplies and friendship. Victor dreams of completing more creations, while Nutty happily reflects on their success. The open day bridges the gap between the castle and the village, proving that even the most unusual inventions—and inventors—can find acceptance.

The initial opening credit is operatic in style with both male and female vocals paying homage to the late 18th century when victor lived and runs to approximately 3 minutes. The closing music has both an element of classic and current music to add a bit of excitement to the end for the listening children.

The story and music itself runs to just over 30 minutes and is narrated in the voice of claire francis, my wife.

I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
