    About Etty Darwin and the Four Pebble Problem

    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.
