When Mary Shelley was a little girl, she used to write stories beneath the trees in her garden; books and writing helped her escape from her unhappy home. As an adult, Mary found others like her who thrived on creativity and loved telling their own stories. And when one of them challenged the group to a competition to write the best ghost story, she was inspired to create a story unlike any other, which became the famous novel Frankenstein — which many people consider one of the first science fiction stories ever.
