Calpurnia #1

A young girl with dark hair cradles a beetle in her cupped hands while a distinguished elderly gentleman in formal attire stands behind her amid sun-dappled trees — it's a quietly enchanting image that sets the tone for this graphic adaptation of Jacqueline Kelly's beloved novel. Daphné Collignon's artwork is warm and expressive, capturing a sense of curiosity and wonder that feels perfectly suited to the story's naturalist spirit. Published by Rue de Sèvres in 2018, this French edition is a lovely entry point into Calpurnia's world.
