George Eliot Titles

George Eliot (actually a woman whose real name was Mary Ann Evans) was one of the leading novelists of her day when she wrote her best-known novels 150 years ago. Her insight into what makes people do the things they do, and her ability to write very realistically with great dramatic effect, make her books perfect candidates for Real Reads. We are starting with The Mill on The Floss and Silas Marner, and plan to add Middlemarch in 2013. Real Reads George Eliot also marks the series debut for illustrator Sarah Wimperis, already acclaimed for her illustrations for younger children.
