Description - The Great And Only Barnum by Candace Fleming
There are virtually no children's books available about the life of P.T. Barnum... until now! Candace Fleming-- author of the acclaimed The Lincolns-- is now turning her biographer's eye towards a younger age group. More straightforward than The Lincolns, Fleming fills a need in the marketplace for non-fiction aimed at 8-12 year olds.
Discover the true story of P.T. Barnum, the man who created the world-famous Barnum & Bailey Circus, as featured in the movieThe 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. Readers can visit Barnum's American Museum; meet Tom Thumb, the miniature man (only 39 inches tall) and his tinier bride (32 inches); experience the thrill Barnum must have felt when, at age 60, he joined the circus; and discover Barnum's legacy to the 19th century and beyond. Drawing on old circus posters, photographs, etchings, ticket stubs-and with incredible decorative art by Ray Fenwick-this book presents history as it's never been experienced before-a show-stopping event!
