The 'Stranger Things' star turned her grandma's bedtime stories into her first book.
Millie Bobby Brown shared how her grandmother's stories of living through World War II sparked the inspiration behind her debut novel,"Nineteen Steps."
"When I was younger, I couldn’t sleep and so I would crawl into her bed and I would say, 'Nanny, can you tickle my arm and tell me the stories about your childhood?'" Brown recalled."And she would tell me these stories about her experiencing World War II.
"One night there was a faulty sound and their go-to was to go down the steps going to the Bethnal Green tube station. One person fell down those steps, and the rest followed, and over 100 people died, most of them being children," Brown said."And that’s due to the steps being unsafe — too dark of a light, no hand rails, some tiling problems. It was one of the biggest civilian disasters in World War II not due to the war in England.
"She was very empathetic to the situation and very worried about upsetting or triggering anyone’s trauma," Brown said."I think she would be really hesitant about how it’s explained, but I think she would be really excited overall."
