Sobre este artículo
London: Andersen Press, 2011. First UK . Hardcover. Fine. Illustrated in shades of beige and brown by the author. Hardback: no dj, illustrated boards, fine. folio, unpaginated. The rather sad, true story about ANNIE TAYLOR (62 years old) who wanted fame and fortune by conquering the Niagara Falls in a barrel (1903). She achieved the deed, but it didn't bring her fortune, only heart-ache because of her appearance, her age and her gender. She still is the only woman to have achieved this feat.
Sinopsis
She could remember standing in a park near the falls, hypnotized by the sight and sound, and holding her father’s hand as they took a walk that would lead them closer. That’s what everyone wonders when they see Niagara . . . How close will their courage let them get to it? At the turn of the nineteenth century, a retired sixty-two-year-old charm school instructor named Annie Edson Taylor, seeking fame and fortune, decided to do something that no one in the world had ever done before—she would go over Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel. Come meet the Queen of the Falls and witness with your own eyes her daring ride!
