The Manikin
Angebote / Angebote:
The Manikin is not a mannequin, but the curious estate of Henry Craxton, Sr. in a rural western New York State. Dubbed the “, Henry Ford of Natural History, ”, by 1917 Craxton has become America’, s preeminent taxidermist. Into this magic box of a world—, filled with eerily inanimate gibbons and bats, owls and peacocks, quetzals and crocodiles—, wanders young Peg Griswood, daughter of Craxton’, s newest housekeeper. Part coming-of-age story, part gothic mystery, and part exploration of the intimate embrace between art and life, "The Manikin" is compulsively readable and beautifully written.
