A blend of anecdote and spectacle, this collection offers vivid tales of the exotic animals that fascinated 19th-century audiences. Drawing on his experience as a showman, the author recounts encounters with lions, elephants, and other marvels, revealing both the wonder and eccentricities of the era’s fascination with the natural world. These stories reflect the era’s blend of scientific curiosity, popular entertainment, and moral reflection on the human-animal relationship.Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891) was an American showman, businessman, scam artist and entertainer, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Animal Stories is 'an account of the author’s famous expedition in search of wild animals for the circus.'
