| 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 Americas preeminent taxidermist. Into this magic box of a worldfilled with eerily inanimate gibbons and bats， owls and peacocks， quetzals and crocodileswanders young Peg Griswood， daughter of Craxtons 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. |
