by one of the pre-eminent (*the* pre-eminent? discuss ..) garland historians ... author of THE WORLD'S GREATEST ENTERTAINER .. . this gloriously illustrated and beautifully printed outsized photographic essay with extended text is a grand addition to the library of anyone interested in mid 20th century american popular music, popular entertainment .. and certainly, a must for anyone particularly interested in the career of judy garland. a beautiful production, all around.

this gorgeous 1992 photographic tribute is a wonder. text and images from the collection of john fricke .. and this work entered the fray of biographies that focused then (and a stream that continues to flow to this day) of those who want to create psychological worlds around ms. garland (often created out of fragmentary evidence, sometimes saying more about they author than the works do about ms. garland). what thousands of garland fans tremendously respect mr. fricke for is his tenacious focus on the extraordinary performance legacy of this amazing woman .. his book is not his first nor his last effort on her behalf but it is the first of a number of incredibly significant contributions he has made to her memory and legacy .. reporting, correcting, enthusing ... contributing. fricke manages the hat trick of combining fandom and extraordinary facility with research and literary acumen. he is a treasure himself. and honors beyond measure 'the world's greatest entertainer'.
