She was first published in book form in 1887.
The story is an enduring classic, more than a century old.
It's a fantasy adventure packed with action, mystery, wonder, supernatural marvels and beauty, along with violence and darkness.
While it bears some of the now-discredited hallmarks of the era in which it was written, it remains an enthralling page-turner.
Refreshingly, considering 19th century social attitudes, it features a strong woman with a complex personality as the central charact.
