John Merrick

[Datura]

Does anyone know of any informative biographical sites about John Merrick, aka 'The Elephant Man'? I searched and haven't been able to find many. I'm especially interested in his poetry, and have only found one poem.

Have you read the original book?

 

[Datura]

No. My plan is to go to the library this weekend and pick it up.

There is a film you can buy from Discovery channel as well as an old movie called 'Elephant Man', which is fairly accurate.

Thank you. I have seen the movie with Anthony Hopkins. Perhaps I'll look into the one from the Discovery Channel.
