Christy Kane is an artist that creates life size, handmade dolls. She then photographs them in antique settings to illustrate her original stories of social misfits. Each doll has a distinct personality. Christy's photographs are very detailed and her stories are haunting and unforgettable."Tales of the Sisters Kane" is a collection of stories including the tales of Lily (who has lost nine fingers, one by one, due to her careless fascination with a sewing machine), Polly (who has been unable to stop traveling the world since receiving a pair of roller-skates on her fifteenth birthday), Callalilly (whose unchecked temper has doomed her to becoming a hook-handed piano player), The Triplets, Hyacinth, Azaeleah and Violah (whose baby sister Wisteria has gone missing under troubling and mysterious circumstances).
From the reviews that I have read, which happen to be rave, this book is a must have. I have just ordered my copy and I'll post my review after I have read it. From what I gather, these stories are called "Cautionary Tales" which have morals and lessons to be learned from them. More later.
