After the death of her parents, she is apprenticed to an eccentric wax sculptor and whisked off to the seamy streets of Paris, where they meet a domineering widow and her quiet, pale son. Together, they convert an abandoned monkey house into an exhibition hall for wax heads, and the spectacle becomes a sensation. As word of her artistic talent spreads, Marie is called to Versailles, where she tutors a princess and saves Marie Antoinette in childbirth. But outside the palace walls, Paris is roiling: The revolutionary mob is demanding heads, and . . . at the wax museum, heads are what they do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the tradition of Gregory Maguire's \u003ci\u003eWicked\u003c\/i\u003e and Erin Morgenstern's \u003ci\u003eThe Night Circus\u003c\/i\u003e, Edward Carey's \u003ci\u003eLittle\u003c\/i\u003e is a darkly endearing cavalcade of a novel—a story of art, class, determination, and how we hold on to what we love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012175708400,"sku":"9780525534334","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780525534334_p0.jpg?v=1763710802","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780525534334","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
