NEW BOOK: THE EXTRAVAGANT AMBASSADOR: THE TRUE STORY OF ALEXANDRE VATTEMARE

Speaking of our friend Vattemare, I just discovered that there 
is a new 288-page book on him being published this month by the 
Boston Public Library, which is also opening a corresponding exhibit 
June 16. "The Extravagant Ambassador: The True Story of Alexandre 
Vattemare, the French Ventriloquist Who Changed the World" is 
"edited by Earle Havens, Acting Keeper of Rare Books and Manuscripts 
at the Boston Public Library, and Pierre-Alain Tilliette, Conservateur 
en chef a la Bibliotheque administrative de la Ville de Paris. The 
eventful life and multi-faceted philanthropy of Alexandre Vattemare 
(1796-1864) are celebrated in this book and the exhibition.
