The book has an end piece with historical details of the real mandrake dolls together with a discussion of shipwrecks of the late 19th century.
On the ship are four mandrake dolls, put aboard by a mysterious woman.
Ligurio and servant, aided by an old alchemist, observe these rules, tearing the mandrake with the help of a dog.
Mandrake was often humanized in the sense that it could experience pain, produce sounds, etc.
Mandrake is friendless and constantly watched by his numerous enemies.
But being effected by the mandrake's poison means he will forever live in a fake world of his most desired dreams.
Mandrake defeated rotunda and lost the rematch in a two out of three falls match.
Mandrake often goes into the homes of her subjects, or photographs them on secluded city streets and venues.
