Product Information

Edward Carey is a writer and illustrator who was born in North Walsham, Norfolk, England, during an April snowstorm. Like his father and his grandfather, both officers in the Royal Navy, he attended Pangbourne Nautical College, where the closest he came to following his family calling was playing Captain Andy in the school’s production of Showboat. Afterwards he joined the National Youth Theatre and studied drama at Hull University. Making a book out of paper is a fun and easy project that has many purposes, for home and school. You can use your book as a journal, sketchpad, or gift for someone. A home-made paper book is a great activity for kids, too.

Edward Carey's fictional version of Madame Tussaud's life, stuffed to the gills with quirky detail though it was, felt like a shell to me. I couldn't believe in his main character and was glad to escape the stale air of the narrative by the end.
