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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46392968741022,"sku":"ADS-9781439795965","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781439795965.jpg?v=1768135514","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781439795965","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
