About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Elephant Man and other reminiscences by Frederick Treves. Read in English by Beth Thomas; Mike Casey; Stefan Von Blon; Mike Botez In 1884, Professor Treves saw Joseph Merrick (known as the "Elephant Man") in a shop across the road from the London Hospital. Being also a teacher at the University, he brought Merrick to the London Hospital as a teaching case, and Merrick lived there until his death in April 1890. This book of "reminiscences" includes the story of the "Elephant Man" as well as other interesting cases from Sir Treves' practice as a doctor. (Summary by Beth Thomas)
