Author Karen Clemens Warrick

P.T. Barnum, The Genius of the Three Ring Circus

"Warrick's mostly chronological account is wide-ranging, going beyond colorful storytelling to emphasize Barnum's early and innovative use of publicity and advertising. The author is successful at giving a sense of why her subject is important."
--School Library Journal, July 2001

". . . competently written biographies . . . supplemented by . . . information boxes that provide colorful background information or place events within historical context. The final pages of each volume discuss the legacy of each subject."
--The Horn Book Guide, Fall 2001
