Here's one more interesting 'Little Ice Age' link that helps underline the power of natural occurrences and mentions the 1815 eruption of the Tambora volcano in Indonesia as the indirect cause for Mary Shelley having written "Frankenstein".

"Most prominent was the 1815 eruption of Tambora in Indonesia. It pumped into the atmosphere vast amounts of ash -- ten times that of Krakatoa, another famous Indonesian volcano. The following year has been called the "Year Without a Summer." In June and July of 1816, New England and northern Europe suffered frost and even snow."
