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�hilarious and wrenching, tender and outrageous�through which he begins to understand his father�s great feats, and his great failings.
