Book Reviews of The Circus Age: Culture and Society under the American Big Top
Book Review: Just What I was Looking For
Summary: 5 Stars
After a surprisingly interesting visit to the Ringling Museum in Sarasota I was anxious to know more about this unsung chapter of American History. This book was everything I wanted and more.
Full of well researched facts, insightful conclusions and fascinating details, it reads like a dream. If I could give it 6 stars I would! Well done Janet M. Davis.
