      abstract = {This book is a fast-paced, carefully documented, and rich  biography of Barnum, the greatest showman of all time, the  American from Bethel, Connecticut, whose eccentricities and  oblique, cynical approach to humanity transformed  entertainment into a big, incredibly profitable business.  As bachelor, husband (twice), father, and grandfather,  Barnum comes to life in Mr. Wallace's crowded pages, an  exceedingly interesting and human man. Here, too, are New  York City in all its nineteenth-century color, the London  of Queen Victoria, and the Paris of Napoleon III. - Jacket  flap.},
