Etty Darwin and her famous father go for a walk to ponder life, science .
and fairies! Inspired by the real-life daughter of Charles Darwin.
Etty loves make-believe.
Her dad loves science.
Etty believes in fairies.
Her dad would need to see some proof that they exist.
But they both love nature, conversation and each other.
A gorgeous rumination on belief and imagination featuring Henrietta (Etty) Darwin and her famous father, Charles.
Etty went on to become a valued and keen editor of Charles's work and a thoughtful and intellectual being in her own right.
This imagined conversation between Etty and Charles as they stroll around Charles's real-life thinking track explores their close relationship and shows that even science is nothing without an open mind and imagination.
