Queen of the Falls tells the story of Annie Edson Taylor, a 62 year old retired dance instructor who went over Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel on October 24, 1901. Annie designed her barrel to withstand the turbulent waters of the Falls and a plunge equivalent to the height of a seventeen story building. She hoped such a daredevil accomplishment would win her fame and more importantly help her stave off poverty in her old age. Annie's story is told in a simple way. The most outstanding feature of this book besides its unique subject matter, is the beautiful sepia-coloured pencil drawings of this well known author/illustrator.
