Why have I sent copies to 7 different young people I know who are professional circus artists? Because of PERSPECTIVE. This book details the fascinating history; traditions and evolution of the circus arts in an interesting; highly-readable and ultimately inspiring narrative by a writer who has lived his story. Modern circus is well known to millions around the world largely through familiarity with Cirque du Soleil performances; but few know the story behind the highly refined disciplines we watch with awe inside the tent or theatre. Reading this book gives valuable insight into the past; present and future of circus; and opens a window for spectator and performer alike to appreciate these demanding arts which continue to fascinate and inspire. Highly recommended!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Engrossing!By Lois MaskiellAbsolutely adored this book!

Well written; fascinating history; first person experiences - the chapter on being on the trapeze is worth the price of the whole book; lots of circus lore and just plain fun to read! Great memories for those who have been to a circus; and for those who havent; it will make you want to go.
