While some of the details did get a little long winded (for example, there was more then enough mentioned on the Victorian Educational System and the achievements of the many Doctors, Showmen, and their contemporaries who studied and worked with Joseph, fascinating though it was) from time to time, it happily includes Joseph's own short Autobiography. One of the bigger squabbles that the writer discusses is were the doctors and showman who cared for Joseph horrible self serving human beings or genuinely nice people? I think it's a mix, especially on the showman's part - I believe the doctors had a genuine compassion for Joseph. And though it hurts on some level to say it, I believe the showman did Joseph a service by allowing him the dignity of work (which for someone of Joseph's proud but gentle nature, was important, especially in an era where you were expected to be a working adult contributing to the household by age 12). I don't believe they were cruel to him, but I don't believe they went out of their way for him as they stated, either, and the showman known to associate with Joseph had a way of coloring the truth.

An excellent and obviously well researched biography of this most intriguing man, who can surely be counted as one of the most gentle souls to ever grace us. He often said to me that he wished he could lie down to sleep ‘like other people’… he must, with some determination, have made the experiment … Thus it came about that his death was due to the desire that had dominated his life—the pathetic but hopeless desire to be ‘like other people’.

In 1879, when 17 years old, he ended up in the Leicester Union workhouse where he stayed for four years. Victorian workhouses were often more like prisons for the unemployed and unemployable. They worked long hours for the roof over their head doing the most unwanted laborious tasks of the era.
