Charlotte in London

Joan MacPhail Knight

A nineteenth-century American girl journals her trip to London where she meets famous painters like John Singer Sargeant, learns about art, and more. It’s 1895. Charlotte and her American family came to France three years ago so her father could learn to paint in the French Impressionist style. Now Charlotte and her parents are traveling to London to see if the famous—and very busy—artist John Singer Sargeant will paint Charlotte’s mother’s portrait. In London, Charlotte and her best friend, Lizzy, share a room at the Savoy Hotel, Charlotte decides to help track down Mr. Sargeant and records her many adventures with Lizzy: They watch fireworks on the banks of the Thames, keep an eye out for London’s legendary ghosts, find out why ravens are kept in the Tower of London, and visit Madame Tussaud’s waxworks. Illustrated with stunning museum reproductions and exquisite watercolor paintings, Charlotte in London also includes biographical sketches of the featured painters. This vibrant journal of Charlotte’s exciting journey will make any reader long for lovely, lively London. Praise for Charlotte in London “[A] handsomely illustrated journal. . . . As in previous books, much care and thought have been put into the book’s design. Sweet’s own illustrations are small gems, but there are interesting reproductions here as well. For readers who want to know more, there’s plenty of back matter to inform. A bloomin’ delight.” —Booklist “Featured artists’ biographical information provides added depth to the period. There’s much to explore in the mixed-media and watercolor art. Art aficionados and fans of Charlotte in Paris . . . and Charlotte in Giverny . . . will enjoy these vivid British travels.” —School Library Journal
