(3) 4-6 Translated by Rosie Hedger. Illustrated by Hilde Hodnefjeld. This chronicle of the life and struggles of Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, is a humanizing narrative portrait covering his family history, societal exploitation, love for poetry, and search for understanding. Illustrations--a quirky assemblage of historical photographs and scratchy, dim-hued drawings--create a gritty, vintage vibe befitting Di Fiore's historical tale of discrimination and inner beauty.
