In 1997, almost by accident, John H Richardson found himself sharing a hotel with more than a thousand dwarfs. In the course of a single week, he witnessed the entire spectrum of human emotion in one concentrated dose. But at the end of that week, he discovered that leaving the "Little World" wasn't as simple as checking out of a hotel. In fact, his journey would last two full years.
At a time when bigger often seems synonymous with better, and physical beauty serves as currency, the world of dwarfs usually passes beneath our notice. Now, in this groundbreaking work, award winning author John H Richardson brings the "Little World" into focus.
He introduces us to characters like the mother who sacrifices her family to save her dwarf daughter. He follows two dwarf lovers from first meeting through their struggle to overcome their fear and shame and find the confidence to love each other.
