Through The Tempests Dark And Wild by Darrow Sharon
Long before Mary Shelley created her Gothic masterpiece, Frankenstein, she told other tales - spine-tingling fireside tales of lost loves and drowned sailors. She also shared true stories of a girl endlessly drawn to her mother's grave, and of a girl whose father had forgotten all he once held dear. Sharon Darrow has skilfully spun fiction from fact to recreate the details of a particularly critical time in Mary Wolllstonecraft Shelley's life - when she was fourteen and sent away to live with another family, the Baxters. Masterfully matched by Angela Barrett's exquisite, atmospheric illustrations, this is a rich tapestry of stories within stories - those told, those written and more extraordinary, those lived.
Sharon Darrow teaches on the Writing for Children course in Vermont College, USA. This is her first book for Walker. She lives in Chicago with her two cats, Darcy and Bingley. Angela Barrett is widely regarded as one of this country's finest illustrators. She won the 1989 Smarties Book Prize for Can It Be True? and the 1991 WH Smith Illustration Award for The Hidden House. In addition, she has been shortlisted three times for the Kurt Maschler Award and once for the Kate Greenaway Medal. Her other picture book titles include Beware Beware, Joan of Arc, The Walker Book of Ghost Stories and Rocking Horse Land and Other Classic Tales of Dolls and Toys.
