Mary Shelley (Volume 32) (Little People, BIG DREAMS, 32)

This book was far more successful than other books in this series, but I still take objection to two things, one an omission, another an anachronism. First the anachronism, the word teenager didn't exist yet. Now to the omission... Mary was particularly influenced in her writing by her recent miscarriage, which can be see throughout the text of Frankenstein and seeing as her mother's death from pregnancy was already discussed earlier in the book I don't think that omitting this fact was necessary. In fact, just a small line about it would have given the book a more real, a more true feeling. Instead it was lackluster. Though I did really enjoy the artwork, with it's stylistic Regency look that was very two dimensional, I felt that it captured something special.
