The Magic Box

A rich and deeply moving story of a man whose achievement opened up a new world, and of the two women whose love and sacrifices made it possible!

William Freise-Greene, now elderly, ill, poor, and largely forgotten, was once young and handsome William Green. He added his first wife's name to his own for his acclaimed photographic portrait work. But he was also an inventor, and his relentless pursuit of a way to project moving pictures became an obsession that ultimately transformed the lives of all those he loved.
