Lotta Crabtree: Gold Rush Fairy Star

80 pp. | Pelican | September, 2017 | Trade ISBN 9781455622306 $17.99 | Ebook ISBN 9781455622313
(4) 4-6 This biography introduces young readers to Lotta Crabtree (1847–1924), who began entertaining gold rush miners at age eight. Her long career as a singer, actress, and comedienne (purportedly the first American female to do comedy) is ably documented, but the tight text and sidebars in a horizontal page design and some too-small black-and-white photographs may discourage readers. Timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
