Happy 213th Birthday Mary Shelley

Published: August 27, 2010

On August 30th the Aurora Hills Branch Library will celebrate Frankenstein author Mary Shelley’s 213th birthday!

Mary Shelley is best known for her gruesome and tragic tale about Victor Frankenstein’s obsession with reanimating dead tissue and the horrible consequences that came from taking it a step too far. However she was a prolific female writer for her time producing, novels, short stories, essays, biographies, and plays. Arlington Public Libraries has many of her publications so check out a few and spend these last hazy days of summer enjoying the beautiful weather and reading a good book!
