A gothic, historical tale of found family and friendship, loss and redemption, Once a Monster is a dazzling reimagining of the myth of the Minotaur set in 19th century London. ‘Robert Dinsdale mixes history and mythology with great panache . ..

London, 1861: Ten-year-old Nell belongs to a crew of mudlarks who work a stretch of the Thames along the Ratcliffe Highway.

Nearly seven feet tall, the creature has matted hair covering his legs, and on his head is the suggestion of horns. Nell's fellow mudlarks urge her to steal what she can, but as she ventures closer the figure draws breath – and Nell is forced to make a decision that will change her life for ever .. . From the critically acclaimed author of The Toymakers, Robert Dinsdale.Perfect for lovers of historical fiction with a mythical twist, such as Stone Blind and Madeline Miller's Circe. ‘A wonderful magic trick of a story . ..
