The liner notes state:
"Miss Selby-Lowndes has
written a history and description of Circus life, going behind
the scenes and watching animals and families in training for the
performance. It answers many of the questions anyone asks about
the Circus, such as whether animal training is cruel, and how
much danger is risked, and how much practice is needed to hang
from the roof and be twisted round by the teeth. the author
writes about the great families of Circus performers, and about
the three major shows which travel about Britain today; showing
their different characteristics and particular interests and
lines of development. Anyone who has enjoyed a circus will enjoy
this book."
Condition: Very good ex-library
book with stamp on the inside front cover. Very good dustjacket,

Book feels like it has barely been read, fully intact, tightly
bound and with very clean pages. Click on photo above for
