From inside front cover: "Here is an unusual and fascinating book about the circus written by one who, for forty years, has lived the circus life. No one better knows its vicissitudes, hardships and risks than he, and in his biography he tells with startling realism of that life behind the scenes which the circus enthusiast only glimpses through a transparency of romance and glamour."
