A Monster of an Exhibition
The Daily Mail takes note of a new show. One in which a handwritten draft of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein can be seen.
From the story...
Mary Shelley was just 21 and living with the already married Percy Bysshe Shelley when she wrote Frankenstein, which began as a short story but turned into a classic novel that has spawned countless Hollywood films.
Among other personal belongings are Percy Bysshe Shelley's spy-glass - thought to have been onboard the Don Juan on Shelley s final voyage which resulted in his drowning - and his baby rattle.
Booktryst has more about the exhibit, here.
