Marine Serre, Wild Child of Paris

Marine Serre was born and raised in a village so small you’ll never find it on a map. It’s somewhere in Corrèze, a region in the southwest of France which is famous for its wild, unspoiled beauty. Her family were always farmers. The only book Serre remembers from her childhood detailed the local terrain and its flora and fauna. To this day, she looks like a woodland sprite, bright, trim, pointy. When she left for boarding school, and a whole new world, at the age of 13, she fell under the spell of William Blake, 18th century poet of the Apocalypse. “
