Sometimes it begins with a dream, and a dreamer. Mary is one such dreamer, a little girl who learns to read by tracing the letters on the tombstone of her famous feminist mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, and whose only escape from her strict father and overbearing stepmother is through the stories she reads and imagines. Unhappy at home, she seeks independence, and at the age of sixteen runs away with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, another dreamer. Two years later, they travel to Switzerland where they meet a famous poet, Lord Byron. On a stormy summer evening, with five young people gathered around a fire, Byron suggests a contest to see who can create the best ghost story. Mary has a waking dream about a monster come to life. A year and a half later, Mary Shelley's terrifying tale, \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus\u003c\/i\u003e, is published -- a novel that goes on to become the most enduring monster story ever and one of the most popular legends of all time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA riveting and atmospheric picture book about the young woman who wrote one of the greatest horror novels ever written and one of the first works of science fiction, \u003ci\u003eMary Who Wrote Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration of the process of artistic inspiration that will galvanize readers and writers of all ages.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLINDA BAILEY\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning author who has written more than thirty books for children, including \u003ci\u003eCarson Crosses Canada, Under-the-Bed Fred, The Tiny Hero of Ferny Creek Library\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSeven Dead Pirates.\u003c\/i\u003e She has won the Blue Spruce Award, the California Young Reader Medal and the Georgia Storybook Award, among others.
