Project Gutenberg 2003-10-01 Public domain in the USA. 187 Renard, Jules 1864 1910 Renard, Pierre Jules Poil de Carotte Produced by Walter Debeuf "Poil de Carotte" by Jules Renard is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around a red-haired little boy, affectionately nicknamed Poil de Carotte (meaning "Carrot Top"), who confronts the challenges of being a misunderstood and timid child within his family, particularly dealing with an unsympathetic mother and siblings. At the start of the tale, we meet the Lepic family, where Madame Lepic first chastises her children for forgetting to close the chicken coop. The scene quickly establishes the dynamic between Poil de Carotte and his family, portraying him as timid and somewhat cowardly, especially compared to his more assertive siblings, Félix and Ernestine. Despite being pressured into actions that terrify him, such as closing the coop, Poil de Carotte manages to muster some courage, revealing a mix of apprehension, longing for approval, and the weariness of his family’s expectations. This establishes the groundwork for his character's development and the exploration of childhood fears and the quest for acceptance.
