About this title

Synopsis

Inspired by a real saponified (turned to soap) female mummy that resides in the Mutter Museum at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Renee French's all-new, feature-length picture book, The Soap Lady, is a wonderfully entrancing and eccentric tale about a boy, a monster, a ventriloquist dummy, a number of bloodthirsty townspeople, and those soap horns your mom used to give you in the bubble bath. A sweet and yet unsettling story about love, loss and friendship, illustrated in the gorgeously detailed and soft-textured signature style that is Renee French's trademark. Definitely Renee's most ambitious and magnificent work to date, packaged beautifully in a deluxe hardcover format. For adults and children alike.

From the Publisher

Rene้ French has been writing and illustrating comic books since 1991. Her drawings have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Village Voice, and Salon, and in galleries from New York to Lisbon. Some of her non-drawing interests include: large format photography, volcanology, forensic entomology, and rabbit hypnosis. Her favorite insect is the Rose Weevil. After spending time recently in Tromso, Norway, she now lives quietly in suburban New Jersey with some unspecified organisms.
