A young Mary Shelley learning about scientific experiments to reanimate the dead, the ghosts of two brothers helping a living girl outwit a fraudulent psychic, memories of an heirloom quilt, and a young girl meeting a strange creature who wants to learn to write. In this fourth volume of fantastical history, you'll find four stories written for younger readers in which history and speculative fiction combine. Each story is accompanied by a brief essay about the history (and sometimes science) behind the story, plus recommendations for further reading in historical fiction and non-fiction!
