"Once upon a time there lived a girl who swept floors and washed dishes, and was little
more than a servant to her family. Until, one day, an invitation arrived. It was an
invitation to a new country and a new beginning -- a place where Caroline's dreams,
her fascination with the night sky, and her extraordinary talent would open up a world
of beauty and renown, and make her the belle of the scientific ball. From humble beginnings
and in spite of many obstacles, Caroline Herschel and her brother William developed
and built the best telescope in the world -- in their back yard! Together they went
on to discover a new planet, new moons, and vast arrays of unknown nebulae and comets.
From a child who seemed doomed to a life of servitude, Caroline grew into a woman
recognized by kings and queens -- and a scientist whose work and discoveries continue
to shine today. Pamela S. Turner and Vivien Mildenberger invite readers into Caroline
Herschel's true Cinderella story in this inspiring account of the transformative power
of curiosity and the magic-better than any fairytale-of science"
