Maurice or the Fisher's Cot: A Long Lost Tale, by Mary Shelley (HC, 1998, $3)
Written in 1820, two years after Frankenstein, this 39 page story was never published but given to the family of the little girl it was written for. In 1997 that little girl's great grand-niece would be sorting papers and find the lost work! In this book we not only get to read the story of Maurice, but we also get to know the history behind its writing and the story of its discovery. Included are many drawings, paintings, and even photos of the manuscript. Read it and enjoy. (You can find it in the classics section, avail. 9/19)
