Product Description

On 23 March, 1844, General Tom Thumb, at 25 inches tall, entered the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace & bowed low to Queen Victoria.

On both sides of the Atlantic, this meeting marked a tipping point in the nineteenth century
- the age of the freak was born.

Bewitching all levels of society, it was a world of astonishing spectacle
- of dwarfs, giants, bearded ladies, Siamese twins & swaggering showmen
- & one that has since inspired countless novels, films & musicals.

But the real stories (human dramas that so often eclipsed the fantasy presented on the stage), of the performing men, women & children, have been forgotten or marginalized in the histories of the very people who exploited them.
