She Made a Monster by Lynn Fulton illustrated by Felicita Sala

How Mary Shelley Created Frankenstein
This book reveals how Ms. Shelley came up with the idea and the plot of Frankenstein.  The author also weaves in events from Ms. Shelley's childhood and her mother's (Mary Wollstonecraft) advocacy of women's rights. 
The author's note offers more insight to the time period and the original Frankenstein story. 
The illustrations are dark yet fitting.  They may creep out younger readers.
-Borrowed from the library.
