Be sure your folds are even and you crease each one well. Consider sliding your fingernail or something hard such as the edge of a pencil over the crease. How did I find out this book was inaccurate when it came to chronicling the life of Madame Tussaud, born Marie Grosholtz? When reading the beginning of this book, I found the early years of Marie’s life portrayed in it to be incredible, especially the way in which her parents died, leaving her an orphan at the age of six and at the mercy of her mother’s employer. So incredible were these events that I started researching Marie’s life online and was surprised to find that her father had died even before she was born and her mother had lived to a ripe old age even by today’s standards. And these were just the first of such discrepancies as I googled character after character in the book and found only a portion of them having been based on real people or people who Marie crossed paths with over the course of her life. So I came to see that this book was a work of fiction with only some historical facts included that I could rely upon. Wait, there's more...

Edward Carey’s Little is a pleasure to read: a wonderful story, well told, carefully structured, and beautifully illustrated with Carey’s own drawings. Set in eighteenth century Switzerland, France, and England, Little introduces us to a cast of characters, each distinctive and dramatic, who develop and mature over almost ninety years. At Little’s center, there’s “Little”— Anne Marie Grosholtz—herself. Born to a striving servant, indentured to Doctor Curtius, a failed physician and wax modeler of body parts and later heads, burdened by her stature, her inheritance of her mother’s large nose, in the Roman style” and her father’s ”strong chin that pointed a little upward”, Little’s only intimate connection with the world in her early years were her mother and Marta, her beloved peg doll. Little follows Little through the deaths of her parents, her move to France with Doctor Curtius, her mastery of Doctor Curtius’ wax sculpture artistry, the French Revolution, a love affair, a marriage, and her eventual move to England. There are many more historical figures of those times that appear in this well told tale, but then there are others who are figments of the imagination. A fine blend of the fact of the time and the imagination of an author is this novel. These templates are easy to print and use at home too as a fun and crafty activity at the weekend or something to do indoors on a rainy day. This was a slow start for me because Maria Grosholtz (later evolving into Madame Tussaud) starts her trade by making wax replicas of diseased or removed body parts. It was quite grotesque and the characters and speech patterns were strange and baffling. But after that, I found this to be an extremely addicting read. He has written plays for the National Theatre of Romania and the Vilnius Small State Theatre, Lithuania. In England his plays and adaptations have been performed at the Young Vic Studio, the Battersea Arts Centre, and the Royal Opera House Studio.

I was not much bigger, at first, than the size of my mother's little hands put together, and I was not expected to live very long. And yet, after I survived my first night, I went on, despite contrary predictions, to breathe through my first week." pg 14, ebook Edward Carey's fictional version of Madame Tussaud's life, stuffed to the gills with quirky detail though it was, felt like a shell to me. I couldn't believe in his main character and was glad to escape the stale air of the narrative by the end.
