Does anyone know of any informative biographical sites about John Merrick, aka 'The Elephant Man'? I searched and haven't been able to find many. I'm especially interested in his poetry, and have only found one poem.

Have you read the original book?

No. My plan is to go to the library this weekend and pick it up.

There is a film you can buy from Discovery channel as well as an old movie called 'Elephant Man', which is fairly accurate.

Thank you. I have seen the movie with Anthony Hopkins. Perhaps I'll look into the one from the Discovery Channel.
