Legend is correct that Mary Shelley began penning Frankenstein in answer to a dare to write a ghost story. What most people don't know, however, is that the seeds of her novel had been planted long before that night. By age nineteen, she had been disowned by her family, was living in scandal with a married man, and had lost her baby daughter just days after her birth. Mary poured her grief, pain, and passion into the powerful book still revered two hundred years later, and in Mary's Monster , author/illustrator Lita Judge has poured her own passion into a gorgeous book that pays tribute to the life of this incredible author. 504 $a Includes bibliographic references. 600 10 $a Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, $d 1797-1851. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z England $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Authors, English $y 19th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Young adult nonfiction. 941 $a 10 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201014358.0 952 $l XEPE697 $d 20220202021700.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722054516.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20210130011949.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20191126031310.0 952 $l SBPB074 $d 20181023010804.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113447.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20180801011034.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20180717040133.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20180427012224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91C99FAA0B0B11E8B5D4F35897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
