Houdini Schooldays: Plus history of the story is now available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

Product Description:

Joe M. Notaro brought Houdini’s full novella, ‘The Zanetti Mystery” into print and now he tackles ‘Houdini’s Schooldays’.

‘Houdini’s Schooldays’ was serialized over 30 weeks (9/18/1920 to 4/2/1921) in the ‘Merry and Bright’ comics and has never been published in book form until now. Herbert Allingham was the author and Harry Houdini owned the dramatic and screen rights.

This is a BIG story. An extremely fine production in all respects.

Don’t miss this amazing yarn.

A MAN LIKE HOUDINI could not fail to have had a wonderful early life, and this story tells of his adventures while still at school.

In addition to sharing ‘Houdini’s Schooldays’ with original illustrations, Joe. M. Notaro shares his research on the history of the story, along with photos of rare items (from various collections). Research includes other Allingham stories with Houdini’s name attached, Copperfield’s ‘Merry and Bright’ books, Houdini and Allingham correspondence, Houdini’s education (Appleton, Milwaukee), and a look at possible illustrators for the story.

Joe M. Notaro is a Houdini historian, author, collector, blogger, and expert on his movies and writings. For more info, please visit his website: HarryHoudiniCircumstantialEvidence.com
