Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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, Joanna Scott's <i>The Manikin</i> is compulsively readable and beautifully written.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"One reads <i>The Manikin</i> in a kind of fever....It is packed with extraordinary bounty." --<i>Newsday</i> <p/>"Scott's prose is sensitive and beautifully crafted. She writes with subtlety, compassion and humor, and her characters are both eminently human and touched with magic and mystery." --<i>The Washington Post Book World</i> <p/>"The wit, the magical prose and the daring devices of Scott's writing create an enchantment....Readers of The Manikin will remember Scott's novel as a landscape of time, and will remember that her soundings of the depth of our natures are as accurate and revealing as Thoreau's measurements of Walden Pond." --<i>The Nation</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Joanna Scott</b> is the author of several books of fiction, including the novels <i>Tourmaline </i>and <i>Make Believe</i>, and the story collection<i> Various Antidotes</i>. She is a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and a Lannan Award, and lives with her family in Rochester, New York.
