Out of the dark
depths of troubled New York City there arose one
day a longing for the joy of the circus. return
the circus to a human scale, to the ancient
style that brought audiences closer to the show,
that allowed spectators to concentrate
undistracted on one act at a time; create anew a
temple where the spirit of magic and wonder
would flourish. With word and exciting pictures,
peter Angelo Simon tells the story of this
unique group and how it realised its daring
ideal against the spectacular backdrop of the
metropolis.
