Isabella Pilato was born in 1988 and is the first of three daughters to the Rev and Mrs. Gregory Pilato, currently of New London, Connecticut. Her parents superintended her early education, later giving her access to the instruction of Pope, Shakespeare, Dickens, James, Trollope, and Mrs. Kindel. She received her library card in 1993. At age seven, she made her first journey to the 19th century, and this event marked the beginning of extensive travels to that era. Finding her application for Victorian citizenship rejected, she now attempts to straddle the border of the Past and Present and devotes her leisure time to reading, writing, correspondence, and arguing the point with her sisters. For the past three years, she has edited and published The Delicate Constitution--a quarterly periodical representing the years 1800 to 1900. She fulfills the duties of principle violist of the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Youth Orchestra, founding member of the Captain Frederick Marryat Society, and librarian of Covenant Presbyterian Church. Feeling a distinct inclination for words, she intends to make a thorough study of English Literature in college and to deepen her acquaintance with the Latin language.
