Why read it?

1 author picked Walt Disney and the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I didn’t realize that Walt Disney was so involved in the NY World’s Fair–he was everywhere. How I loved “It’s a Small World”–Disney! I’m from Illinois, and even though I don’t remember it, the animatronic of Abe Lincoln–Disney! General Electric’s Progressland–Disney! The Ford ride back to the future–Disney!

It made sense to me then that Disney World was basically an extension of the New York Fair, but I didn’t understand it until I read Kiste’s book.
