Book Description
for The Great Antonio by Elise Gravel
From the Publisher
The Great Antonio weighed as much as a horse, wrestled a bear, fought two trucks at once—AND HE WAS REAL!
What made the Great Antonio so great? He weighed as much as a horse! He once wrestled a bear. He could devour twenty-five roasted chickens at one sitting. In this whimsical book, beloved author and illustrator Elise Gravel tells the true story of Antonio Barichievich, the larger-than-life Montreal strongman who had muscles as big as his heart.
