  11. We Shall All Be Monsters: Mary Shelley and the Creation of Frankenstein

    October 16, 2023, 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
    @

    Newton Public Library

    The daughter of 18th-century radicals, Mary Shelley was disowned by her family and ostracized by society when she ran off with a married man at the age of 16.  Despite continued criticism of her morals, her husband’s philandering, and the death of loved ones, she still managed to write one of the most popular novels of all time while still a teenager.  In this program, historian Kathy Wilson looks at the life of Mary Shelley to learn more about the author and understand not only what influenced her writing, but why we still are fascinated with Frankenstein today. This program is free to attend and open to the public.

    Our annual pumpkin decorating contest is back! Decorate a pumpkin or gourd as your favorite book character. Pumpkins may be painted, dressed, or accessorized, but not carved.

Independent child entries will be divided into age categories (4-7, 8-12, & 13-18) with prizes awarded to top 3 in each category. The public will vote for winners in all categories October 24-30, with winners announced on Oct 31st! Prizes to the top 3 in each category.
