@cookeelizauthor.bsky.socialFollowing on my post about #RichardDadd the #Victorian painter, here's the French cover fro my novel THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR. Like the USA version, it also features a detail from Dadd's painting #TheFairyFellersMasterStroke, which took him nine years to paint.

@emory-f8.bsky.socialMouton died on November 20, 1859.
Emily recorded his death in the same book that had contained years of his imaginary exploits. She wrote about losing him and composed an epitaph for her cat. Afterward, much of the remaining sketchbook was simply left blank.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialShe was only about eight when she began the sketchbook and around eleven when she stopped.
Emily repeatedly placed Mouton into little visual narratives, complete with jokes, costumes, action, dialogue, and recurring characters.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialEmily gradually turned the book into an elaborate chronicle of her family's French tomcat, Mouton.
Over the next several years, Emily sent Mouton on increasingly ridiculous adventures.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialDid you know?
In the Victorian era, an eight-year-old girl began filling a sketchbook with the imaginary adventures of her beloved cat, creating a strange and funny little world that ended when the cat died?
Emily Mary Madden was the daughter of Sir Frederic Madden.
