A mysterious woman lives away from the village with wild animals. She keeps to herself, carving and gardening. But due to groundless rumours, the villagers decide to banish her. To prove them wrong, she decides to follow one of the recipes in her grimoire and to offer them… Eternity.

Strong points:

-A magic and folkloric universe, midway between the tale and the oral literature.

-A pictured book about differences, which stress that exclusion isn’t the solution to beat fear.

-Courage and excelling oneself are highlighted in the story.
