ADA LOVELACE: POET OF SCIENCE

Like her father, Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace had a vivid imagination and a creative gift; like her mother Annabella, she had a passion for science, maths, and machines. A hundred years before the dawn of the digital age, Ada Lovelace envisioned the computer-driven world we know today. And in demonstrating how the machine would be coded, she wrote the first computer program. Diane Stanley’s lyrical writing and Jessie Hartland’s vibrant illustrations bring Ada’s fascinating story vividly to life.
