Simon & Schuster, 2006. Hardcover. Fine. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT. Book in FINE/ FINE condition. SIGNED, 1ST LINED & DATED (4th Sept 2006) BY AUTHOR TO HALF-TITLE PAGE. Synopsis On a blustery October night, the Circus Oscuro came to town. It was clear from the start that this was no ordinary circus. They did not roll into town with fanfares and cartwheeling clowns. Instead, they came in the dead of night, when all the townspeople were asleep.

There was just one witness to the arrival of the circus. A small boy, huddled in a large wooden barrel high on the side of the hill, watched the raising of the big top, awakened from his sleep by the shouts of the circus people and the occasional trumpeting of the elephants.

But underneath the stage paint, Grimaldi struggled with depression and his life was blighted with tragedy. His first wife died in childbirth and his son would go on to drink himself to death.

The outward joy and tomfoolery of his performances masked his grim and difficult personal life and instituted… Leer más
