'There is a space between life and death: it's called waxworks'
Born in Alsace in 1761, the unsightly, diminutive Marie Grosholtz
is quickly nicknamed "Little." Orphaned at the age of six, she
finds employment in the household of reclusive anatomist, Dr
Curtius. Her role soon surpasses that of mere servant as the
eccentric doctor takes an interest in his newfound companion, and
begins to instruct her in the fine art of wax modelling. From the
gutters of pre-revolutionary France to the luxury of the Palace of
Versailles, from clutching the still-warm heads of Robespierre's
Terror to finding something very like love, Little traces the
improbable fortunes of a bloodstained crumb of a thing who went on
to shape the word...
