About the Book
Before the days of TV, DVDs, and video games, there was the circus. When it came to town, businesses and schools would shut down. Folks would gather round, for there, right in front of their eyes, was drama, action, and intrigue. There was the grace of the bareback rider, the daring of the acrobat, the strangeness of the snake lady, and the delight of the dancing pigs.
In Carlyn Beccia’s entertaining ringside view of the Greatest Show on Earth, vintage-style circus posters capture the weird and the wonderful, while fascinating sidebars reveal historical truths behind America’s circuses.
