Synopsis
Over his lifetime, Elvis Presley racked up more than 100 top forty hits, including 18 number one singles. One of the world's most iconic performers, the King of Rock ' n' Roll died at the age of 42 from a heart attack complicated by years of drug use. By the time she turned eighteen, shy talented Frances Gumm had shot to stardom as Judy Garland, playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

These vividly imaginative "biographies" are thoughtful, honest, heartfelt— and entirely within the realm of possibility, as the authors engage in an intriguing exercise of " What if… ?"
