For everyone who loves the movies, Behind the Scenes: A Young Person's Guide to Film History, Vol. 1 reveals an exciting glimpse behind the screen and introduces classic filmmakers, screen icons, and their most memorable movies. This book focuses on Charlie Chaplin. As an impoverished youth in London, Charlie transformed into the most recognizable movie star in the world. With oversized shoes, a too-tight jacket, derby hat, and toothbrush mustache, the little tramp was born. Follow young Charlie to meet the Keystone Cops and discover the inane antics of Mack Sennett, Mabel Normand, "Fatty" Arbuckle and the rest of the pie-throwing gang. Look for "Behind the Scenes: A Young Person's Guide to Film History, Vol. 1" with Oscar Micheaux, Greta Garbo, the Lumiere brothers, Judy Garland and more.
