Katie Hickman went to Mexico looking for magic. She found it in the circus – Big Top, clowns, elephants and all – where cheap, torn materials and tarnished sequins are transformed into nights of glittering illusion. Gradually adjusting to the harsh ways of the circus's nomadic lifestyle, she soon became absorbed into this hypnotic new world, at first as a foreigner but later as 'La Gringa Estrella', a performer in her own right. Travels with a Mexican Circus is an unforgettable account of a year-long journey through an extraordinary and bizarrely beautiful country.

The real traveling carnival is in the pathos behind the scenes. American Oz is a rollicking, gritty, adventurous story of life in the secretive subculture of traveling carnivals. You’ll never see your state fair or neighborhood festival the same way again! Comerford writes a bold, inspiring true story of a year working shoulder-to-shoulder with the colorful characters and legends of carnivals. He shares stories of freaks, a carnival pimp, a tramp gold miner, and the last King of the Sideshows. An insult dunk tank clown is shot. Masked gunmen rob his carnival. And a young showman friend dies on the road. It's a new classic American road story as he hitchhikes to shows in California, New Jersey, New York, Chicago, Alaska, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, and Florida where he works in a freak show. He becomes the #1 hitchhiker in the USA and a top agent at the State Fair of Texas. He travels to the lawless foothills of Mexico to see the new face of the American carny. He exposes the truths about immigration, labor abuse, and living between two worlds. Comerford finds carnival people seeking meaning and love in their lives, and the answers always seem to be somewhere down the road.

First published in 1905 this book by William Carter Thomson offers the reader an insight into the workings of an American travelling circus at the beginning of the 20th century. He gives an account of the daily routine of the troupe whilst on tour and during the winter 'off season', explains the jargon peculiar to circus life, describes methods of transporation, including that of the performing animals, and offers many amusing anecdotes connected with the circus world and its history. A sample itinerary shows that on a tour from April-November the circus will travel just over 11,500 miles, visiting 167 towns spread across 26 states and provinces, travelling by both rail and ferry. This edition is illustrated with 19 black and white photographs integrated with the text.
