Estranged from Ada's father, who was infamously "mad, bad, and dangerous to know," Ada's mathematician mother is determined to save her only child from her perilous Byron heritage. Banishing fairy tales and make-believe from the nursery, Ada's mother provides her daughter with a rigorous education grounded in mathematics and science. Any troubling spark of imagination, or worse yet, passion or poetry, is promptly extinguished. Or so her mother believes. When Ada is introduced into London society as a highly eligible young heiress, she at last discovers the intellectual and social circles she has craved all her life. Little does she realize that her delightful new friendship with inventor Charles Babbage, brilliant, charming, and occasionally curmudgeonly, will shape her destiny. 541 $d 20220113. 600 1 $a Lovelace, Ada King, $c Countess of, $d 1815-1852 $v Fiction. 600 1 $a Babbage, Charles, $d 1791-1871 $v Fiction. 600 1 $a Babbage, Charles, $d 1791-1871. 650 $a Inventors $x Fiction. 650 $a Large type books. 651 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20221022014110.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20220729011113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D421F9FA0F0311ED8D9C4FC431ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
