What is P. T. Barnum: The World's Greatest Showman about?

Although P. T. Barnum is usually linked with the circus, he really was a promoter — a promoter of oddities, a promoter of his exhibits, &amp; a tireless promoter of himself. Barnum was such a master in the art of self-promotion that even 100 years after his death he retains his self-appointed title: The Worlds Greatest Showman. Legend links Barnum to the saying theres a sucker born every minute. While there is no proof the quote is his, Barnum did pull some scams in his day. Yet his legitimate exhibits &amp; shows far outshine his hoaxes. He introduced Jumbo the elephant, soprano Jenny Lind, &amp; General Tom Thumb. <p>A biography of the showman who created a three-ring circus known as "the greatest show on earth" and sponsored such notables as Tom Thumb, Jenny Lind, and Jumbo, the elephant. </p>
