    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    P.T. Barnum, the man who brought you the Feejee Mermaid and Jumbo the elephant, has a shocking confession to make: the world is full of humbugs! From medicine men to money-making schemes, "The Humbugs of the World" unveils the deceptions that have fooled us for centuries. But wait, don't despair just yet! Barnum, with his signature wink and nudge, reveals a surprising truth: sometimes, even humbugs can hold a sliver of truth, a touch of wonder, a reminder that the line between fact and fancy can be as delightful as it is deceiving. So, step right up, folks, and see the world through Barnum's kaleidoscope of truth, trickery, and a healthy dose of amusement.
