Edison's Fantastic Phonograph

Résumé du livre

Imagine life without CDs and videos, or television and radio. Over 100 years ago, none of these things existed, and entertainment had to be homemade. Then a scientist invented a machine that changed the world. In this fascinating picture book, Edison's young daughter Dot tells the story of her famous father and how he recorded sound for the first time. M.P. Robertson's dramatic illustrations perfectly capture the period, while Diana Kimpton's lively text makes this an irresistible and informative trip to the past. Included is a brief biography of Edison.
