«Poil de Carotte» is the children's novel by Jules Renard, published by Folio Junior in paperback (240 pages, in French).
The youngest of the Lepic family, nicknamed Poil de Carotte for his red hair and freckles, endures the humiliations and unjust punishments of his mother, who favours his other siblings. Between harsh and tender scenes, the boy finds refuge in nature, play with his brother Félix, and fishing with his godfather, in a bittersweet portrait of a childhood marked by a lack of affection.
Work originally published in 1894, presented in the Folio Junior Textes Classiques collection.
Aimed at young readers and students of French; recommended reading age from 10 to 18 years.
