1. I'd be curious to know if any historical
fiction has been written about him.

2. I would too! I would just love if Irving Stone or somebody had written a book about him.

I don't think Irving Stone has, but maybe someone has.

3. Against Wind and Tide: A Biography of William Lloyd Garrison.
Against Wind and Tide: A Biography of William Lloyd Garrison. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1965.
Dunno how good it is, look it up on Amazon and read any reviews.

Also:
William Lloyd Garrison … His Life Told by His Children (4 vol., 1885–89, repr. 1969); biographies by W. M. Merrill (1963), J. L. Thomas (1963), A. H. Grimké (1891, repr. 1969); study by A. S. Kraditor (1969); H. Mayer, All On Fire (1998).
