Summary
Bûchette welcomes her granddaughter for the vacations. Together, they find a chestnut with a tiny shoot. They plant it, and the fruit grows into a magnificent chestnut tree that forms a deep and mysterious bond with the child. One day, a man in a horrible hat threatens to cut down the tree… Bûchette calls on her friends, the damsels, to come to the rescue!
