Through the Tempests Dark and Wild: A Story of Mary Shelley, Creator of Frankenstein

40 pp. | Candlewick | February, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0835-1 $$16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Angela Barrett. Two years in the childhood of Frankenstein author Shelley are covered in this longish picture story: with her cousins, Mary walks the Scottish shores and woods and tells ghost stories around the fire, inspiring her later creation. An overwrought style ("Alone now and empty as the horizon, Mary wept") detracts from the dark, moody, gothic watercolors and fresh, intriguing story. Bib.
