"The Illustrated Frankenstein," a faithful retelling of Mary
Shelley's novel in picture-book format, appeals as both lavish art
book and must-have reference for all children's libraries. This
groundbreaking book redeems Frankenstein's Creature from Hollywood
misinterpretations in prose and illustrations inspired by the
original descriptions of his "pale, yellow, watery eye" and
translucent yellow skin. The product of a happy mother-daughter
collaboration, "The Illustrated Frankenstein" argues in the spirit
of Mary Shelley's mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, that true education
begins at the breast; the primary horror of Shelley's novel is not
the Creature's violent acts but rather the lack of empathy and
nurturing he is afforded. Illustrations are by California artist
Barbara Harris Anderson, whose 27 richly symbolic paintings on
canvas, in acrylic, archival ink and pencil, portray a deep love of
the natural world to create narrative tension. Retelling is by the
artist's daughter, Jennifer Anderson, former Stegner Fellow in
fiction writing at Stanford University. "The Illustrated
Frankenstein" illuminates Shelley's rapid-fire intuitions on themes
such as technology and empathy, the evolution of human
consciousness, and genius, making it an exhilarating read for all
ages, from mature young reader to adult. Ultimately it captures the
life-affirming vision of the original novel, contributing art that
is a deeply sensual meditation on connectedness and the seasons of
human life.
