Product Description
Product Description
In November 1997, a slight book sewn together with string was discovered in a palazzo in Italy. This was "Maurice," the only children's story ever penned by Mary Shelley. Written two years after "Frankenstein," "Maurice" is often read as a gloss of Shelley's personal family tragedies, bearing the same melancholy that distinguishes all of her works. As Claire Tomalin shows in her compelling introduction, it contributes greatly to the literary and biographical scholarship on this fascinating woman who was a significant writer in her own right as well as the wife of one of the world's greatest romantic poets.

New and exciting

Format:Paperback
My friend offered me this book to read. It's an amazing work. I read the acutal story and then went back and read the introduction and all the accompanying material. The story itself is cute and definately for children. Then you read the intro and all of a sudden you realize that there was so much more that went into the story than you imagined. I highly reccommend it!
