Description

On the fourth floor of a London townhouse lives a little girl named Cherity Tiddler. The calendar says it’s the end of the 19th century, and therefore all the goals in the life of a young lady are predetermined: proper education—singing, dancing, music, drawing, embroidery—and a successful marriage. But in every era there are girls who are more interested in studying the world around them and its inhabitants than dressing up and hunting for husbands. Cherity is one of those. From early on, she lives alone—but she is by no means bored. After all, around her there’s so much interesting: frogs, mice, snails, hedgehogs, and birds… Thanks to her curiosity, common sense, and a sense of humor, as well as her masterful command of watercolor, Cherity becomes a children’s writer and illustrator—just like the famous Beatrix Potter, whose life inspired Marie-Aude Murrai to create this novel.
