Reseña del editor:

A long-lost story for children never previously published - it tells the story of a young boy who runs away and is adopted by a Devon fisherman. It was written for the young daughter of Lady Mountcashell who had eloped to Italy under scandalous circumstances like Mary herself. Claire Tomalin unravels the story of the two families and their extraordinary place in English history. "Claire Tomalin outlines the story brilliantly, setting Mary Shelley's unpretentious tale in its fascinating context" Suzy Feay, Independent on Sunday "Claire Tomalin's introduction is full, readable and brilliant" - Jane Gardam, Spectator
