Walt Disney always loved to entertain people. Often it got him into trouble. Once he painted pictures with tar on the side of his family s white house. His family was poor, and the happiest time of his childhood was spent living on a farm in Missouri. His affection for small-town life is reflected in Disneyland Main Streets around the world. With black-and-white illustrations throughout, this biography reveals the man behind the magic.
