520    P. T. Barnum's career of showmanship and charlatanry was 
       marked by a surprising undercurrent of honesty and 
       forthrightness. His exuberant autobiography forms a happy 
       combination of all those traits, revealing the whole story
       of his world-famous hoaxes and publicity stunts. Here is a
       pageant of nineteenth-century America's gullibility and 
       thirst for marvels, as told by the master of revels 
       himself. A born storyteller, Barnum recalls his 
       association with Tom Thumb, his audience with Queen 
       Victoria, and his trouble keeping Jenny Lind's angelic 
       image intact during a trying tour. He tells of Jumbo, the 
       most famous elephant in history, from the creature's 
       heroic arrival in America to its tragic death in a 
       railroad accident; of his attempts to transfer 
       Shakespeare's house and Madame Tussaud's Waxworks from 
       England to New York; and of his triumphant reentry into 
       public life after financial failure and five disastrous 
       fires had all but wiped him out. The true-life tale of a 
       man of boundless imagination and indomitable energy, 
       Barnum's autobiography embodies the spirit of America's 
       most exciting boom years.
