Travelling Shows and Roundabouts by
Arthur Sellman is a fascinating and increasingly hard-to-find study
of Britain’s travelling fairground tradition. Published by Oakwood
Press in 1975 as Locomotion Papers No. 84, the book runs to 40
illustrated pages and offers a compact but engaging look at the
world of travelling shows and roundabouts.
A highly appealing title for
fairground enthusiasts, transport historians and collectors of
amusement heritage, this book captures an aspect of popular
entertainment history that is often overlooked. Written by Arthur
Sellman, who also wrote under the name “Southdown,” it makes a
particularly attractive addition to any collection focused on
showmen, rides and the history of British travelling amusements.
