When the young Shelley walks into her father's bookshop, he embodies all that young Mary has dreamt of. Defying convention she elopes with him, but there is no happy ending to this tale. Written for teen readers, this is the story of Mary and Percy Shelley told by Mary herself. Romantic, dramatic and eventful, Bennett links the events in Mary's life and her relationship with Shelley to the creation of her masterpiece, 'Frankenstein'. Very readable.
