Blending fiction, non-fiction, painting, comics, dreams, and sociology, In the Woods Charline Collette draws on all her many gifts in this unique graphic work.

The forest is a place of play and experimentation, an inexhaustible resource for the imagination. Charline Collette tells the story of a forest: her childhood forest, and the universal forest of all who love the woods. Taking inspiration from stories gleaned from children and adults, Collette depicts the universal bond between humans and the forest.
In the Woods tells 12 tales over the course of a year and its changing seasons, blending comics and beautiful illustrations. From the child candidly recounting her encounter with the tiny "cuckoo's house" to the elderly woman recalling the taste of the melted cheese she would bring her father, these tales from varied eras are powerfully moving.
