Résumé :
Freaks have been loved, loathed and even worshipped since time began. This book explores both the facts and the emotions behind the newspaper headlines and medical textbooks. It includes the tragic, hideously deformed Joseph Merrick, known as the Elephant Man; the famous midget Tom Thumb; the French four-legged woman; and the hideously deformed Devil Boy of Brazil, rescued from a life of misery by a Scottish surgeon.
