I love true stories and biographies so I just thought this was so interesting! And I love that this is about a person from Ohio :).
Captain Martin Van Buren Bates arrives in the town of Seville, Ohio—standing seven feet and eleven and a half inches. He is "a giant" who has toured around the world in the circus. In search of a quiet home he decides to get off the train in Seville, although he fears he will be too big for the little town. But Seville is full of surprises, and the Bates soon learn that the only thing that matters is the size of one’s heart.
A “tall” tale based on the true story of a real-life circus giant, The Giant of SevilleBuren Bates and his wife, Anna Bates.
