A bronze Alice has room on her mushroom for company. Paddington carries a suitcase, and Mrs. Mallard keeps her ducklings in a tidy line. These photographs show how sculptors bring familiar book characters into parks, squares, stations, and library gardens. Each caption connects the statue to its story and points out a detail worth seeing up close.
