The Great and Only Barnum: The Tremendous, Stupendous Life of Showman P. T. Barnum by Candace Fleming


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Come one, come all, and read about the greatest showman on earth. P.T. Barnum's life was as interesting as his shows. From the creation of his reputation for tricking his audience to his genius for drawing a crowd, from the complete destruction of his famous museum by fire to the financial ruin that nearly ended his career before he even began a circus, there's never a dull moment in this story.
