SUMMARY
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.Scott, Joanna is the author of 'Manikin' with ISBN 9780805039740 and ISBN 0805039740.
