More about the book
In 1761, a tiny-bodied, bighearted orphan named Marie is apprenticed to an eccentric wax sculptor and whisked off to the roilsome streets of Paris, where they meet a domineering widow and her quiet, pale son. Together they establish an exhibition hall for wax figures, and the spectacle becomes a sensation. But even as Marie's talent captures the attention of the royal family, a revolutionary mob takes to the streets, demanding heads--and, at the wax museum, heads are what they do. Little is a modern masterpiece: a luminous tale of innocents and rogues, philosophers and prisoners, and the ambitious girl who captured them all. --from back cover
