Travels with the Great Wallenda Circus.
At one time or another, most of us dream of running away to join the circus, but few ever pursue the dream. Charles Wilkins is one who has. This is his compelling account of travelling one bitterly cold, wet spring with the Great Wallenda Circus through the dense boreal forest of Northern Ontario and the plains of Manitoba to The Pas, Thompson, and Flin Flon, far in the north.
Wilkins returned from the tour - his fascination for the circus intact and his admiration for its people deeper than ever - to give us this unsentimental, affectionate, and dramatic account of a dangerous and enchanting world.
