Google wants you to notice it every time there’s something memorable, worth a look into. Google [U.K.], today has honored Mary Shelley on her 213th Birthday, with a Gothic Wall Doodle. While the wall looked quite spooky in the first look, looking at it closely, I found the 4th picture frame/portrait looking more like Mary Shelley herself [or is it only me?]. Hovering your mouse over the new Google Doodle which show you “Mary Shelley’s 213th Birthday” and clicking on it [usually un-clickable] will take you to “Mary Shelley” search results page. [visit: Google.co.uk]

About Mary Shelley: She was born in 1797 on this very day. She began writing “Frankenstein” at an early age of 18, which was published when she was 21 [1818]. She is best known for this Gothic novel a.k.a The Modern Prometheus.
