Product Description
Frederick Treves went on to have one of the most distinguished careers in medical history, including saving the life of the king by operating on his appendix the day before he was to be crowned.
In his final book before he died, The Elephant Man and Other Reminiscences, Treves wrote an account of his time with Merrick, although he chose to call him John rather than Joseph (this led to him being called John Merrick in the film The Elephant Man directed by David Lynch). This book is an apt summary by Dr Frederick Treves of The Elephant Man and ten other stories written by the Doctor.
