She folded thousands of tiny scraps of fabric over diamond-shaped slips of paper and painstakingly stitched them together. Kate Evans employs these slivers of cloth to illustrate Jane Austen's life story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvans teases apart the threads that connect Austen's beloved novels, the events of her life, and the fabric of society in Regency England. Patchwork is a major new work of graphic biography. Kate Evans has an unparalleled ability to marry drama, comedy, and historically im­mersive detail, bringing Austen's story to life with fluid, dynamic artwork, at times embroi­dered onto cloth itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe author's love for Austen shines throughout. Her incredible eye for historical detail - panes of glass, bits of lace, hedgelaying styles, the cut of a coat or the architecture of a Hampshire cottage - creates a captivating vision of Jane Austen's world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46990093910251,"sku":"BOVERSO\/9781804296226","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/0464\/4247\/files\/Book_Patchwork.jpg?v=1761309879","url":"https:\/\/cartoonmuseum.shop\/products\/book-patchwork","provider":"The Cartoon Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
