In his prime, Edward Bloom was an extraordinary man. He could
outrun anybody. He never missed a day of school. He saved lives and
tamed giants. Animals loved him, people loved him, women loved him.
He knew more jokes than any man alive. At least that s what he told
his son, William. But now Edward Bloom is dying, and William wants
desperately to know the truth about his elusive father this
indefatigable teller of tall tales before it s too late. So, using
the few facts he knows, William re-creates Edward s life in a
series of legends and myths, through which he begins to understand
his father s great feats, and his great failings. The result is
hilarious and wrenching, tender and outrageous."
