"Circuisiana ... Americana. There's plenty of both here, as a likeable lad with a speech impediment, a quick temper and the fists to back it up, is introduced to the sharp practices of the circus and takes you through his first season, a season filled with excitement and entertaining complications as you tour the country with this typical old-time grift show. The author spent fifteen years trouping with various circuses and has tried to tell it like it was, in the idiom of the circus."--Flyleaf
