In The Metamorphosis: The Apprenticeship of Harry Houdini, author
Bruce MacNab has combined his passions for Houdini and Maritimes
history to create a book that is not only a terrific day by day account
of Houdini's 1896 Canadian tour, but also a vivid snapshot of everyday
life at the turn of the century. It really is one of the most remarkable
books ever written about Houdini, as well as being a marvelous
chronicle of what it was like to be a traveling magic troop in the
1890s.
