Through the Tempests Dark and Wild
A Story of Mary Shelley Creator of Frankenstein
Sharon Darrow
illustrated by Angela Barrett 2005
This was an interesting story about Mary Shelley and her time spent in Scotland with Robert and Isabel Baxter. After her father remarries, Mary is sent away to ease the tension between her and her stepmother. Sharon Darrow explores the idea that the seeds for Mary's most famous work, Frankenstein, were planted when she was a young teenager exploring the rough Scottish countryside and telling ghost stories with her friends. I particularly liked the pairing with Angela Barrett's moody silhouettes.
