Miss Charity by Marie-Aude Murail, adapted with visuals by Loïc Clément and illustrated by Anne Montel, is a beautifully rendered illustrated novel set in late 19th-century England. Through gentle watercolours and evocative scenes, the book follows Charity, a young girl who defies strict societal expectations by turning her playroom into a laboratory, an improvised menagerie, and an art studio. Guided by her French governess and her loyal Scottish attendant, she soon realizes that her passion for animals, nature, and drawing is much more than a hobby — it is the seed of a lifelong calling. Inspired by Beatrix Potter, this richly imagined story celebrates curiosity, creative independence, and the courage to forge an authentic path. Each page invites readers to see the world with openness and artistic wonder.
