Mark St Leon presents a comprehensive, entertaining and visually stunning history of circus in Australia. It is the outcome of a lifelong interest in Australia's circus history, sparked by his own family's celebrated circus past. Within its pages, you can read how a colonial circus industry developed from Old World roots; how the circus is woven into the historical fabric of modern Australia; how circus in Australia absorbed influences from America, Japan and Europe; how Australia has been visited by some of the world's major circus companies; and how Australia became a significant source of international circus talent. The crisply-written text is complemented with almost 300 rare colour, sepia and black and white photographs, many not previously published.
