Summary

Edward Prendick finds himself floating perilously in the ocean after having been shipwrecked. He is picked up and saved by the curious Dr. Montgomery, a medical man travelling with a cargo of various wild animals. Prendick soon finds himself once again adrift at sea after an argument with a hostile and drunken captain.

For a second time, Montgomery appears as his savior, and he is hauled ashore on the island of Dr. Moreau, Montgomery’s mysterious colleague and mentor.

As he encounters some of the deformed and bestial inhabitants on the island, Prendick soon comes to realize that he has heard of this infamous Dr. Moreau before. Now begins a nightmarish existence as the full truth of Moreau’s scientific ambitions become horribly apparent.

Head StoriesAudio presents The Island of Dr Moreau by H.G. Wells. Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
