Description:In the 1960s and ‘70s the carnival show world was taken by storm with exhibits of anything you could imagine to make a buck off. In Peter G. Hennen’s Hell’s Belles – From Gorilla Girls to Freak Babies, you’ll enter the life of carnival sideshow operator Pete Hennen, the showman behind it all. From freak human babies to full-on 10-in-1 sideshows, Hennen put them – one and all – on carnivals across the country. He was called a master showman by some; others considered him a con man. Now, for the first time ever, are gathered together hundreds of photos and papers from Hennen’s personal files along with stories about what really happened on the lots. Learn about the freaks he called family, about Susi the Elephant Skin Girl and Lola the Half Woman/Half Man. Discover Otis the Frog Boy working on Hennen’s freak baby shows. Meet Suzy Wong the Snake Girl and Princess Dioniker, the girl who transformed into a 300 pound gorilla. Hell’s Belles chronicles the ups and downs of a sideshow life, how being at the top of the outdoor show world couldn’t stop it from crashing down.
