The Elephant Man
About this book
John Merrick had lived for more than twenty years imprisoned in a body that condemned him to a miserable life in a workhouse and to humiliation as a circus sideshow freak. But beneath that tragic exterior, within the enormous and deformed head, thrived the soul of a poet, the heart of a dreamer, and the longings of a man.
