In 1761, a tiny, odd-looking girl named Marie is born in a village in Switzerland. After the death of her parents, she is apprenticed to an eccentric wax sculptor and whisked off to the seamy streets of Paris, where they meet a domineering widow and her quiet, pale son. Together, they convert an abandoned monkey house into an exhibition hall for wax heads, and the spectacle becomes a sensation. As word of her artistic talent spreads, Marie is called to Versailles, where she tutors a princess and saves Marie Antoinette in childbirth. But outside the palace walls, Paris is roiling....

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius who uses the gift of deduction and reason to solve the most vexing of crimes. Warlock Holmes, however, is an idiot. A good man, perhaps; a font of arcane power, certainly. But he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag. The only things he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart flatmate. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety...

Story
For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on “climbing boys” - orphans owned by chimney sweeps - to clean flues and protect homes from fire. The work was hard, thankless, and brutally dangerous. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived - and a girl. But when Nan gets stuck in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature - a golem - made from ash and coal. This is the creature that saved her from the fire.

This is a unique story.
This was unique story. With good writing with an array of vocabulary, I did not have trouble listening to it. In fact, I made excuses to get away from every day life to hear more. I love the book Little by Edward Carey as well. I do not hesitate to listen to books from Edward Carey. Great Job.

Sooo good!!
What a wonderful tale. It was magical and silly and brave and quite entertaining! If you’re looking for a book that’s not about just romance and regular day to day life kind of stuff - this is the pick for you!
It is the third in the series and definitely needs to be read in order , it’s a great option for listening to in the car. If you have children, even though it’s not childish, it doesn’t deal with anything inappropriate. It’s almost like the author knew it was going to be narrated some books really thrive with narration and this was one of them. Bravo excellent book.
