The Museum of Mary Child

The Museum of Mary Child

A timeless love story and a bewitching fairy tale from the masterful creator of Claire-de-Lune.

Heloise lives with her godmother in an isolated cottage. Next door is a sinister museum dedicated to the memory of Mary Child. Visitors enter it with a smile and depart with fear in their eyes. One day, Heloise finds a doll under the floorboards. Against her godmother's wishes, she keeps it. And that's when the delicate truce between Heloise and her Godmother begins to unravel.

Heloise runs away. She journeys far, but one day she must return to uncover the secret at the heart of her being.
