Mary Shelley's most famous book might have been Frankenstein, but it was not her first published work. That honor goes to this small book, "Mounseer Nongtongpaw," published when she was 11 years old by her father and stepmother's publishing business, The Juvenile Library. First published in 1808, it was so popular that it was reprinted several times. The one in this display was an edition from 1810. #frankenstein200th #frankenstein200years #maryshelley #maryshelleysfirstbook #juvenilelibrary #lillylibrary https://www.instagram.com/p/BrbJe_Nn_Wk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hve1a210gboj

Yesterday, we went to see a fascinating exhibit at IU's Lilly Library celebrating the 200th birthday of the publication of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." This is one of a just a few surviving first editions including all 3 volumes. Many books of this period were printed in installments and were often bought by subscription. This first edition on display is exactly the same as what Mary Shelley would have received upon the book's publication. #maryshelley #maryshelleysfrankenstein #frankenstein #frankenstein200years #frankenstein200th https://www.instagram.com/p/Braiew2nuk6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f5enrb2pkaja
