Book Synopsis
Olof Krarer may be one of America's most effective impostors of the 20th century. Born in Iceland in 1858, she moved to the US at age nineteen. Because she was a dwarf, the only job she could get was as the wife in a dwarf couple at a circus. This book tells a story of a dwarf who made a living in 19th-century America posing as an Eskimo.
