It was amazing.
A fascinating book about modern-day circuses, which seem to be especially transitory and ephemeral forms of entertainment in this modern age. The circuses described in this book are not predominately of the Barnum and Bailey variety, but smaller and often more pleasingly eccentric groups. In many ways, they remind me of medieval passion plays or 12th century wandering minstrels and jugglers. Entertainiment can be so simple, really. We so easily forget that, don't we?
