![King of the Tightrope: When the Great Blondin Ruled Niagra](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/1561459372.jpg?itok=3bVEivUD)
Jean-Francois Gravele first performed as a child. Walking on ropes required skill, confidence, and daring, which Jean-Francois had in abundance. As an adult, he traveled from France to America and decided he would walk across Niagara Falls — on a rope! This fascinating character comes to life in lively language and dramatic illustrations. Additional information about The Great Blondin (as Jean-Francois became known) and photographs are included.
