| Description: |
An autobiography of Phineas T Barnum that immortalizes the showman who hoodwinked customers into paying to hear the reminiscences of a woman presented as George Washington's 161-year-old nurse, the impresario who brought Jenny Lind to America and toured Europe with General Tom Thumb, and the grand entrepreneur of the American Museum of New York. |
| Synopsis: |
For over fifty years Barnum dominated American entertainment--in this first reprinting in paperback of his "original" biography, it will be easy to understand how he was able to create the "Greatest Show on Earth," a show as outrageous and entertaining as Barnum himself. |
