On the fourth floor of a London mansion lives little Charity Tiddler. The calendar says the end of the 19th century, and, therefore, all the goals in the life of the young lady are predetermined: a decent education - singing, dancing, music, drawing, embroidery - and a successful marriage. But at all times there are girls who are more interested in studying the world around them and its inhabitants than in dressing up and hunting for husbands. Charity is one of them. From an early age, she lives alone, but not at all bored. After all, there are so many interesting things around: toads, mice, snails, hedgehogs, birds ... Thanks to her curiosity, common sense and sense of humor, as well as her masterful use of watercolors, Charity becomes a children's writer and illustrator - like the famous Beatrix Potter, whose life inspired Marie-Aude Murail to create this novel.
