"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.
