Book excerpt: Mad "Her biography may be said to comprise a tale of two cities" The waxwork museum to which Madame Tussaud gave her name remains a popular London attraction. However, the life that brought Marie Tussaud to London was one of terror, revolution and execution. Learning her trade from a physician who excelled at wax modelling, Marie began her career innocently creating waxes of contemporary celebrities, such as Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Benjamin Franklin. In the 1780's she was employed to teach the sister of Louis XVI votive making. The French Revolution would shatter this life. Arrested as a Royalist sympathiser, Marie was sentenced to die. Her head was shaved in preparation for the guillotine. It was only her connection to the physician who trained her that saved Marie that day. Her skill with wax was utilised and Marie found herself making wax models of the executed, including the King, Marie Antoinette and later, Robespierre... The Romance of Madame Tussaud is an amazing history of an extraordinary time. Written by her great grandson, The Romance of Madame Tussaud is a captivating and insightful look into the life of Marie Tussaud herself and her fascinating museum. John Theodore Tussaud (1858 - 1943) was the great grandson of Marie Tussaud. Although his father had sold ownership of Madame Tussauds, John worked in the museum as manager and chief artist for many years. In 1935 John was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. In addition to The Romance of Madame Tussaud, John wrote The Chosen Four about Napoleon's loyal supporters who followed him into exile at St. Helena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1789, with the starving French people on the brink of revolution, orphaned Celie Rosseau, an amazing artist and a very clever thief, runs wild with her protector, Algernon, trying to join the idealistic freedom fighters of Paris. But when she is caught stealing from none other than the king's brother and the lady from the waxworks, Celie must use her drawing talent to buy her own freedom or die for her crimes. Forced to work for Madame Tussaud inside the opulent walls that surround Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, Celie is shocked to find that the very people she imagined to be monsters actually treat her with kindness. But the thunder of revolution still rolls outside the gates, and Celie is torn between the cause of the poor and the safety of the rich. When the moment of truth arrives, will she turn on Madame Tussaud or betray the boy she loves? From the hidden garrets of the starving poor to the jeweled halls of Versailles, Madame Tussaud's Apprentice is a sweeping story of danger, intrigue, and young love, set against one of the most dramatic moments in history.

Book excerpt: Paris, 1788. Marie is a young woman in love with her oldest friend and neighbour, Henri. But she is also a determined businesswoman, eager to see her family's waxwork museum keep them safe and solvent. Her gift for modelling faces in wax brings her to Versailles, where she must teach the king's sister her skill. But the coming revolution will place Marie, her family and all of Paris in grave danger. As the monarchy is overthrown and the guillotine becomes a fixture in French life, Marie is expected to show her patriotism by making death masks from the severed heads of every key figure killed as the Reign of Terror begins and France enters its darkest time. How will Marie survive the Revolution? Who will survive it with her? And just how will this girl come to be known as the woman behind one of the most famous museums in the world?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As heiress to the famous Laurent Fashion Dolls business, Marguerite Ashby's future seems secure. But France still seethes with violence in the wake of the Revolution. And when Marguerite's husband Nicholas is killed during a riot at their shop, she leaves home vowing never to return. Instead, the young widow travels to Edinburgh and joins her old friend, Marie Tussaud, who has established a touring wax exhibition. Under the great Tussaud's patient instruction, Marguerite learns to mold wax into stunningly lifelike creations. When Prime Minister William Pitt commissions a wax figure of military hero Admiral Nelson, Marguerite becomes immersed in a dangerous adventure--and earns the admiration of two very different men. And as Britain battles to overthrow Napoleon and flush out spies against the Crown, Marguerite will find her own loyalties, and her heart, under fire from all sides. With wit, flair, and a masterful eye for telling details, Christine Trent brings one of history's most fascinating eras to vibrant life in an unforgettable story of desire, ambition, treachery, and courage.

Book excerpt: A “meticulously researched and deftly written biography” of the woman behind the famed wax museums, and their origins in the era of the French Revolution (Midwest Book Review). Madame Marie Tussaud is known worldwide for the chain of wax museums she started over two hundred years ago. Less known is that her original wax models were often of the famous and infamous people she personally knew during and after the French Revolution. These were people like Voltaire, Robespierre, and Napoleon—people who changed the world. Even more, the wax figures were depicted in scenes drawn from the horrors she experienced during the reign of terror in Paris during her early adult years. This book shows how the traumatic and cataclysmic experiences of Madame Tussaud’s early life became part of her legacy. She created a succession of scenes in wax, telling events as she personally experienced them. Her wax sculptures were visceral. She made them herself, at times from the living person’s head and at other times from the recently guillotined head of a former houseguest. As a result, people were drawn to her wax displays because they were the most intense way of experiencing those events themselves. This is the story not only of a unique artist, but of how one of history’s bloodiest events influenced her life and work.
