For four consecutive years Shirley Temple was the world’s box-office champion, a record never equaled. By early 1935 her mail was reported as four thousand letters a week, and hers was the second-most popular girl’s name in the country. What distinguished Shirley Temple from every other Hollywood star of the period - and everyone since - was how brilliantly she shone.

Great sociology
Revisado: 02-15-18
More informative and enjoyable from a sociological perspective than biographical one. Let every parent who thinks their child could be a star read this book.

The Greater Journey is the enthralling, inspiring—and until now, untold—story of the adventurous American artists, writers, doctors, politicians, architects, and others of high aspiration who set off for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, ambitious to excel in their work.

A must-read for all history buffs.
Revisado: 03-10-16
This book was well researched and filled with material from direct sources; but it 'read' like a novel. Being an art lover I was delighted to hear about the struggle for their art from the heart of the artists. Also very enjoyable was the view of great events in American history as viewed from the outside looking in. Especially interesting to me as well was learning the flow of the various French governments from the Revolution through WWI. The harrowing and heroic experiences of Elihu Washburn made me proud to be an American and elucidated the courage of all who lived in Paris during and right after the Franco-Prussian war. Samuel Morse taught me that one can have a chance at significant contributions to mankind at all stages of life. So much to learn and experience here. An unforgettable read.
