Calpurnia

In this quietly evocative series from French publisher Rue de Sèvres, Calpurnia adapts Jacqueline Kelly’s beloved novel into a tender, episodic comic. Set in rural Texas at the turn of the 20th century, it follows the inquisitive young Calpurnia Tate as she navigates family expectations and her growing fascination with the natural world. The series, which began in 2018, is known for its warm, detailed artwork and faithful storytelling, bringing a classic coming-of-age story to a new audience through the graphic medium.
