This extremely well-written book provides a fascinating insight into life in the US in the late 1800s in much the same way as 'Water for Elephants'. The obsession with 'oddities' such as proportionate dwarves seems wrong somehow to our modern ways of thinking but I think most of us have a naturally curiosity for living beings who are 'out of the ordinary'. I would loved to have met Mr and Mrs Tom Thumb in person and certainly enjoyed reading about Vinnie's (imagined) challenges and inner thoughts.
