Frankenstein is one of the world’s most famous horror stories. It’s about a doctor who creates a new man from the body parts of dead people and brings it to life. But the experiment goes wrong and the monster(怪兽) kills the doctor and many others. The story has been read by millions since it was first published and in the last hundred years it has been made into dozens of movies. Many people are surprised to learn its writer was a 19-year-old woman, called Mary Shelley.
Mary was born into a rich London family in August 1797. She was educated by her parents and when she was 13 decided to become a writer. In 1812, she met the famous writer Percy Shelley and they soon got married. Sadly for Mary, their first child died soon after birth in Italy. In her diary, Mary wrote about a dream: “I dreamt that my little baby came to life again—that it had only been cold and that we rubbed it before the fire and it lived.”
In 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-odl May visited the poet Lord Byron at his home in Switzerland. Because of the bad weather they stayed indoors reading horror stories. One night, Byron asked everyone to write their own story. Mary thought of her dream and wrote the story Frankenstein.
Frankenstein was published when Mary was 21, and became a huge success. Many people didn’t think a 19-year-old woman could write so well and believed her husband was the real writer.
Although famous, Shelley’s life was full of sadness. Only one of her four children lived and in 1822 her husband died in a swimming accident. Mary was broken-hearted and decided not to marry again. She devoted herself to her child and continued to write until her death in 1851.

My best friend Jack goes on vacation a lot and always brings me something expensive. I don’t have enough money to get him anything every time. What should I do? Bob | Souvenirs don’t have to cost a lot. Show him you are thinking of him. That’s important. Imagine how excited he would be if he got a postcard from you! Miller |
I have a crush on a movie star. I really wish I did not. I have had dreams about him, and I even find myself wishing to be his wife. Are there any ways to stop this? Alice | A star is cute, but what else? What do you think is important for person? Being good-looking or kind-hearted? Remember that the star in the movie probably isn’t what he is like in real life. So don’t let yourself spend too much time on the star. Staying with friends or taking more activities will help you get him out of your mind. Miller |
