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.
