| Discover the true story of P. T. Barnum, the man who created the world-famous Barnum & Bailey Circus, as featured in the movie The Greatest Showman! The award-winning author of The Lincolns: A Scrapbook Look at Abraham and Mary, Amelia Lost, and Our Eleanor brings us the larger-than-life biography of showman P. T. Barnum. Known far and wide for his jumbo elephants, midgets, and three-ring circuses, here's a complete and captivating look at the man behind the Greatest Show on Earth. Listeners can visit Barnum's American Museum; meet Tom Thumb, the miniature man (only thirty-nine inches tall) and his tinier bride (thirty-two inches); experience the thrill Barnum must have felt when, at age sixty, he joined the circus; and discover Barnum's legacy to the nineteenth century and beyond. This book presents history as it's never been experienced before—a show-stopping event! |
