Mary wrote Frankenstein. And Byron wrote Childe Harold (I think; can't remember for sure).<br /><br />I was so impressed by the idea of all these writers sitting around and talking Big Thoughts -- and now I do it with writers, too, at meetings and get-togethers. What fun!J Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016624838926050085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-6078736259053728862011-09-07T08:46:24.948-04:002011-09-07T08:46:24.948-04:00I don't believe Shelley never had another book...I don't believe Shelley never had another book like Frankenstein.
