Gregory Maguire, New York Times-bestselling author of WickedThe wry, macabre, unforgettable tale of an ambitious orphan in Revolutionary Paris, befriended by royalty and radicals, who transforms herself into the legendary Madame Tussaud.In 1761, a tiny, odd-looking girl named Marie is born in a village in Switzerland. 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.In the tradition of Gregory Maguires Wicked and Erin Morgensterns The Night Circus, Edward Careys Little is a darkly endearing cavalcade of a novela story of art, class, determination, and how we hold on to what we love....2080351Little134149https://www.gandhi.com.mx/aace2e47-d3e0-3cea-8d47-d1237a906aca/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1867958/18c71316-f99d-4403-8e9a-50fc174b8b02.jpg?v=638342094389600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189780525534341_W3siaWQiOiI4YzBiZmNiYS0xYzc0LTQzMTctYWNiOC0xNTNjNjMzZTlhNmQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI4MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjY0LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIxNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDY6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780525534341_An amazing achievement. . .
