JaredH said Fantastic bio on Walt Disney. This is my first biography to read about Walt Disney and I loved it. I couldn't get through it fast enough.

Great Read I am a huge Walt Disney fan. This book, if you can look past the goofy title, is very likely the single best one-volume biography about Walt. I can say this, having read most of those biographies. If you want to know who Walt Disney was, this is a perfect place to start.. Larry This book is incredible. Walt Disney surely fits the phrase "the man, the myth and the legend." Read this book and then "wish upon a star" and then go work hard to make that wish and dream a reality!
