Description
A down and out young man looking for work gets a job as custodian at a wax works museum and finds himself captivated by a woman's wax likeness in the section reserved for murderers.
This story was inspired by the author's attempt to sneak into the famous Madame Tussaud's London waxworks- the story of which we are currently playing at 1001 Hedroes, legends, Histories & Mysteries Podcast.
Frank Stockton uses clever humor to poke fun at manufactured art in this humurous piece about a man who, while seeking to help out his local fire department using a money-making scheme, purchases a mass-produced piece of art with the hopes of raffling it off for many times its value.
