On 30 August 1797, Mary Shelley was born – and with her came one of literature’s most enduring creations. Written when she was just 18, Frankenstein continues to thrill, terrify and inspire more than two centuries later.
Shelley’s vision is as compelling today – a chilling exploration of ambition, creation and responsibility. Her Creature, both monstrous and profoundly human, remains one of the most unforgettable figures in fiction.
This Folio pays tribute to the genius of Mary Shelley and the timeless power of her eerie imagination.
