I just finished reading The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb. I really enjoyed the novel. Author is Melanie Benjamin. The book was enlightening ! I would recommend it.

Margo, let me just send you this one. I think I got it at Target. However, I know I won't re-read it. I'll send it out in a couple of days. I loved the story. (I have your address)

Well, Margo..there is quite a bit in the story about Charles Stratton also. I had heard of him; but, never knew a thing about him. I think it's fun to read about long ago relatives..even if they are shoe string.
