{"product_id":"9781439795965","title":"Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (Embellished Manuscripts Collection) Midi Lined Hardback Journal (Wrap Closure) by Paperblanks","description":"English writer Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Gothic horror novel Frankenstein tells of a scientist who creates a sentient being in a morality-pushing experiment. The story came to life while on a cross-European vacation with friends, touring ancient castles and discussing topics such as the occult. When Lord Byron suggested a competition to see who could write the best ghost story, Shelley drew upon these experiences, as well as her own feelings of grief and guilt over the loss of a child, to craft a story that tackled universal questions such as \"What is my purpose\" and \"Why am I here.\" Today, this handwritten draft of Frankenstein is held at Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56299679187317,"sku":"9781439795965","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781439795965.jpg?v=1762786151","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781439795965","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
