AUTHOR: Mary Brett was born into a family of antique dealers and claims she loves the olden days much more than modern times. This is her third book. She holds a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and lives in Richmond, Virginia. She became interested in sideshow performers after seeing the 1932 cult classic, Freaks. Mary spent over three years researching the lives of the 152 performers presented in this book. Stevan Gould was born in San Francisco. He has travelled extensively, including two years spent riding freight trains across America. The circus is in his blood. He is related to William C. Coup, P.T. Barnum's business partner, and he worked for a summer with Standley Shows of Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he experienced carnival life first-hand. Today he lives a much quieter life in Richmond, Virginia, but is still inclined to occasionally give in to wanderlust and hit the road. 663 colour and b/w images Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
