Ep. 29 - The Mother of Science Fiction, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Mary, Mary, quite contrary

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockleshells

And pretty maids all in a row.

Mary, Mary, not so wary

Of hearts and darkness bleak

With spirits fraught, creatures new

She was never meek

Mary, Mary, like a fairy

Drawn to mists and deep

She calls a message to us all -

Know what to give and keep.

Join us as we take a breath of dead air with the mother of science fiction - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.
