Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron
Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron | Julia Quinn
17 posts | 14 read | 9 to read
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn, comes her first illustrated graphic novel. Based on story snippets that are peppered throughout a number of her novels and enjoyed by her characters who read them, this is that tale in its entirety - an irresistible treat for her fans who are in the know and pure entertainment for all others. Born into a happy family that is tragically ravaged by smallpox, Miss Priscilla Butterworth must use her wits to survive a series of outlandish trials . . . Cruelly separated from her beloved mother and grandmother, the young girl is sent to live with a callous aunt who forces her to work for her keep. Eventually, the clever and tenderhearted Miss Butterworth makes her escape . . . a daring journey into the unknown that unexpectedly leads her to the "mad" baron and a lifetime of love. Delightfully illustrated by Violet Charles, and told in Julia Quinn's playful voice, Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron is a high-spirited nineteenth-century romp that will entertain and enchant modern readers.

I first read this last Christmas and knew that I would reread again. This Christmas I did, and I probably will read it again in the future.

I just love this story

This was the perfect read over Christmas. Cozy and with a cute romance even if there‘s nothing Christmassy about it.

Vansa Was the famous getting pecked by pigeons scene depicted in its full glory?!! 1y
AnneCecilie @Vansa I‘m not sure I would say in its full glory. There‘s a couple of panels at different points in the story. 1y
Andrew65 Well done 🎄🎄🎄 I like the cover. 1y

This might be the longest I‘ve waited on a library hold as the publication was delayed by almost a year but I wasn‘t going to give up my # 1 place!

I don‘t think I‘ve read Julia Quinn before (haven‘t watched Bridgeton either) but found this hilarious and delightful - super short, read it in one go! Miss Butterworth really went through it - but much like Cinderella, she preserved, stayed cheerful & kind (she also solved the mystery, got the man)

AnneCecilie I just bought this and you‘re review increases my expectations 1y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @AnneCecilie, it‘s a bit of fun! I laughed out loud multiple times - so I‘m sure you‘ll have a cracking time reading it. 1y

This was without a doubt one of the cutest and enjoyable graphic novel read I‘ve indulged in. The artwork is fun and the storyline entertaining! Super quick read.

After listening the Julia Quinn interview episode on Heaving Bosoms, I ordered this graphic novel with a treat from the author. It comes with a personalized autograph and special edition magnets only when ordered from the University Book Store of Seattle.

Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron is a book within a book - meaning it's being mentioned in Quinn's Bridgerton series and the Smyth-Smith quartett.

The GN is fun. I really enjoyed the crazy story, but the illustrations are what will make me read this again.

Mehso-so

This was a very absurd graphic novel. It was sort of insane, but that was the point. I found the whole story to be a bit strange and I didn‘t necessarily love it (nor did I completely hate it). It was just okay for me. I probably would have liked it better if I was more familiar with Miss Butterworth.

KristiAhlers I have ordered it. This was a project she worked on with her sister. Her sister did all the artwork. I believe they had just turned it in and Julia‘s sister and father were killed in an accident not long after. 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Awesome cover 💛 2y
oddandbookish @KristiAhlers Yes. That is mentioned at the end. I also mentioned in my full review. 2y
oddandbookish @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I did love the art style! 2y

Rolo may not be hype but I sure am. The Bevelstoke trilogy is probably my favorite and Miss Butterworth is a big part.

julesG 😍😍😍 Still waiting for my copy. Pre-ordered it in January 2021, but Amazon Germany hasn't been able to find a copy yet. 😑 2y
