A historical fiction novel about the travelling circuses of the 1920's. Lewis Tully, who has circus in his blood, starts up a circus with a variety of performers and animals, including a camel, elephant, Gorilla, monkeys and horses. Through hardships and hard work, the group travels thru Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming performing form town to town. Complicating matters is a rival circus, whose owner sends his workers to harass the Blue Moon Circus, not to mention escapee monkeys who trash a small town, including the church.
A great story and some unusual characters and incidents make this book easy and fun to read.
