📚⚡ Happy Birthday, Mary Shelley! ⚡📚

Born on 30 August 1797, Mary Shelley gave the world one of its most famous novels, Frankenstein. Today is often celebrated as Frankenstein Day, so it's the perfect excuse to revisit this gothic classic and brush up on a famous literary fact: Frankenstein is the scientist, not the monster! 😄
