Laurie Carlson -- (2003) -- Queen of Inventions: How the Sewing Machine Changed the World

(Note: written for children aged 9 - 12)

Millbrook Press, Brookfield, Connecticut USA

ISBN 0-7613-2706-1


--------------------------------

"32 pages, hardback. Simplified history for children aged 9-12. Very good range of interesting photos, although some are too dark and could have been lightened. Told very much from Singer's point of view. Short and slightly misleading but useful as quick reference for introducing children to sewing machine history."
