Miss Charity : Las primeras aventuras de una joven dibujante

Charity lives in England at the end of the 19th century, in a respectable London home. There, children are expected to be quiet, and well-bred girls shouldn't ask too many questions. But she doesn't fit that mold. And there had to be some advantage to her parents ignoring her: they don't realize she's turned her playroom into a makeshift zoo, a laboratory, and an art studio. Among mice, rabbits, hedgehogs, and birds, while observing mushrooms under a microscope, drawing crows in the snow, and reciting Shakespearean verses with genuine passion, Charity clings to everything that makes her feel alive. She's guided by Blanche, her French governess, who introduces her to watercolor painting; by Tabitha, her Scottish maid, who can find a scary story in any corner; And from the few friends she manages to make, our indomitable protagonist will discover that her love for animals, drawing, and nature is not a childish whim, but the seed of a vocation that will mark her own life and, in time, accompany the childhood of generations of children.
