Madame Tussaud: Waxing Lyrical

T01046051317

She toured the towns of Britain for thirty three hard years with her travelling wax cabinet, fighting off competition against a background of fire, riot, shipwreck and betrayal. She personified persistence, fortitude, dedication and self belief. Why does every one know of her Exhibition but no one know her story?
