| Summary: |
"A fascinating look at Ada Lovelace, the pioneering computer programmer and the daughter of the poet Lord Byron."-- Provided by publisher. Two hundred years ago, a daughter was born to the famous poet Lord Byron and his mathematical wife, Anaabella. Like her father, Ada had a strong imagination and a gift for connecting ideas in original ways. Like her mother, she had a passion for science, math, and machines. It was a very good combination. Ada hoped that one day she could do something meaningful with her beautiful mind. This is the story of how an important but little-known woman -- a brilliant scientist and mathematician -- would go down in history ad Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer. |

Her portfolio of children's book illustrations was creative enough for her to begin publication in 1978. She became an art director for G.P. Putnam & Sons and later began retelling and illustrating classic children's books. Stanley has revamped the fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin's Daughter and has also researched the children's biographies Cleopatra and Leonardo Da Vinci. She also illustrated her mother's book, The Last Princess. (Bowker Author Biography) |
