Phantom Of The Opera story

[CrystalStart]

Absolutely stunned by Phantom Of The Opera movie I am trying to remember if I ever heard there was a book about Phantom's childhood. Ever heard of it?
Or any interesting facts. Thanks

Gaston Leroux's original novel "The Phantom of the Opera".

"The Complete Phantom of the Opera" by George Perry
A lavishly illustrated book that surveys the background and theatrical treatments of the Phantom story. Perry has included a discussion of the Paris Opera building, the 1911 novel by Gas ton Leroux, the films, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's current stage hit (which comprises two-thirds of the book).

Gaston Lerouxe's novel was actually based on the book by a woman author who wrote about story about Phantom's birth.
Gaston Leroux then opened it into Phantom Of the opera.
I had it saved but lost it. THANKS
