I saw everything. They told me everything. I played a part in
everything. Nelly Dean has spent her life serving the inhabitants of
Wuthering Heights. She has quite a tale to tell. She wants to tell it to
you. Nelly's story is as wild and stormy as the moors on which it is
set. She talks of haunting, hatred, love, grief and the desire for
revenge. Her tale begins and ends with the mysterious Heathcliff. Where
has this strange, silent boy come from? Will you fear him or pity him?
What drives the adult Heathcliff to destroy others, even his own son,
and to dig in dark graveyards? Is it love or vengeance, or both? This
famous story of Heathcliff and Catherine will thrill you and chill you
to the bone.
