Katie Hickman went to Mexico looking
for magic. She found it in the circus - Big Top, clowns, elephants
and all - where cheap, torn materials and tarnished sequins are
transformed into nights of glittering illusion. Gradually adjusting
to the harsh ways of the circus's nomadic lifestyle, she soon became
absorbed into this hypnotic new world, at first as a foreigner but
later as 'La Gringa Estrella', a performer in her own right. Travels
with a Mexican Circus is an unforgettable account of a year-long
journey through an extraordinary and bizarrely beautiful country. Condition:
Very Good. Some minor bumping to edge of cover. (Click
