520    $a "En 1761, y una niña diminuta y de aspecto bastante extraño nace en un pueblo de Suiza. la llaman Anne Marie, aunque no tardarán en referirse a ella como Little. Pronto la tragedia se cierne sobre su vida: sus padres mueren, y su única salida es convertirse en aprendiz y sirvienta de un excéntrico modelador de cera, el señor Curtius. Espléndidas cabezas de cera la obseran desde todos los ángulos del taller: Curtius las rellena con trapos y serrín, y las cende por encargo a los hombres más ricos de Berna. De la Suiza de su infancia a París, donde funda con el señor Curtius el primer museo de cera, y más tarde a Versalles, para asistir a María Antonieta en el parto, esta es la asombrosa historia de la modeladora de cera más ilustre de la Revolución francesa. Porque la revolución exige cabezas para su incansable guillotina, y solo ella puede conseguirlas." -- $c back cover.
520    $a 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. -- $c Adapted from back jacket, English edition.
