Abstract:
"Inspired by Velázquez's baroque masterpiece, Las Meninas, [this book] is an imagined account of the dwarfess Maribarbola of Spain (featured prominently in Velázquez's painting) and her struggle for survival and self-determination at a time when dwarfs were kept by aristocracy as pets, prophets, and good luck charms"--Amazon.com.
