Description
"You can't throw too much style into a miracle, and you, my friend, are a miracle," Mark Twain says to Fedor Adrianovitch Jefticheff, also known as Jo-Jo The Dog Faced Boy. Fedor lives, travels, works, and loves among the haunting cast of performers in the Black Tent Sideshow of P.T. Barnum's Circus in the late 1880s.
Fedor not only survived, but also profited by being a memorable and unforgettable human curiosity. Along with being an intelligent and avid reader of Tolstoy, Twain, Alcott, and Melville, he has remarkable interactions with a myriad of other world-renowned characters, one being Nicholas II the Russian Tsarevich. This proves that more than just being a "sideshow," there was a lot of individuality and heart to this "dog-faced boy."
Richly authentic, dramatic, beautifully written, and always thought-provoking, Brant Vickers tells Fedor's story in an epic account of this young man's extraordinary life.
