Giffords Circus by Nell Gifford
Each summer a small and glamorous part of the 1930s comes back to life, recreating magic from an era long past. Evoking a tradition common in the English countryside before the arrival of radio, cinema and television, since 2000 Giffords Circus has delighted fans from far and wide with good old-fashioned entertainment, complete with acrobats, jugglers, horses, magic, puppeteers, dancers and comedy. Lavishly illustrated with a wealth of stunning colour photographs, Giffords Circus goes behind the scenes at the not-so-big top, to show how the magic and mystery are created.
Nell Gifford read English at Oxford University before running away to join the circus. She sold popcorn at the Chinese State Circus and was a ring-mistress at Santus Circus in France, before starting Giffords Circus.
