Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  Matthias Buchinger (1674 - 1739) performed on more than a half-dozen musical instruments, some of his own invention. He exhibited trick shots with pistols, swords and bowling. He danced the hornpipe and deceived audiences with his skill in magic. He was a remarkable calligrapher specializing in micrography - handsome, precise letters almost impossible to view with the naked eye - and he drew portraits, coats of arms, landscapes and family trees, many commissioned by royalty. Amazingly, Buchinger was just 29 inches tall, and born without legs or arms. He lived to the ripe old age of 65, survived three wives, wed a fourth and fathered 14 children. Published to accompany the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition Wordplay: Matthias Buchinger’s Inventive Drawings from the Collection of Ricky Jay, this book includes a selection of Buchinger's marvelous drawings and etchings, a history and mythology of the "Little Man," and the author's encounters with many fascinating characters he meets in his passionate search for Buchinger Genre:  Biographies.
