Although she never grew more than three feet tall, she became a beloved teacher, a world traveller, an entertainer and the friend of many powerful figures. Lavinia was teaching at a local school when she heard about an opportunity to travel doing shows as a "human curiosity" on a Mississippi River boat. Eventually she met P T Barnum and worked at his American Museum. It was there that she met Charles Stratton, a dwarf known to the world as "Tom Thumb". Their wedding, which took place on 12 February 1863, brought joy to a nation at war. President and Mrs Abraham Lincoln held a reception for the couple at the White House. The newlyweds later toured the United States and the world. Lavinia faced several tragedies but always found the strength to go on. Lavinia's extraordinary story also provides a social history of one of the most devastating periods in American history. With additional material on Tom Thumb Weddings, readers' questions, time line, and notes and bibliography, this is sure to be a valuable title for adventurous middle-grade readers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 215mmItem Length: 139mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 449gRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
