A picture book biography of Ada Lovelace, the woman recognized today as history’s first computer programmer—she imagined them 100 years before they existed! In the early nineteenth century lived Ada Byron: a young girl with a wild and wonderful imagination. The daughter of internationally acclaimed poet Lord Byron, Ada was tutored in science and mathematics from a very early age. But Ada’s imagination was never meant to be tamed and, armed with the fundamentals of math and engineering, she came into her own as a woman of ideas—equal parts mathematician and philosopher. From her whimsical beginnings as a gifted child to her most sophisticated notes on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, this book celebrates the woman recognized today as the first computer programmer.

Un soldat de plomb, un plat à beurre, une boussole... Des objets du quotidien. Pourtant, aux yeux de nos auteurs, ces artefacts touchent au cœur des vies humaines pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Chaque auteur de ce recueil a été enjoint de choisir un objet qui avait un lien avec la guerre – une croix de Victoria pour Timothée de Fombelle, un kit d’écriture pour David Almond, un casque pour Michael Morpurgo – et de s’en servir comme inspiration pour une nouvelle originale.
