The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb by Melanie Benjamin

2.0

Hmmmmmm.....I read the whole thing? Quite frankly, this would have been much better as a straight-up biography. Vinnie Warren, aka Mrs. General Tom Thumb, had quite the "fiddle-de-dee" aspect to her voice that seriously grated on my nerves, even though I was reading voraciously to get at the biographical factors of this woman's life. She should have been fascinating, because she certainly lived a differnt life as a smaller than normal woman who travelled and performed publicly during times when women of any size were not doing so many things she did.
