The Painted Tent by Victor Canning

Smiler flees to the farm of the The Duchess in North Devon, where he stays and tends to circus animals housed there for the winter. All is going well until a peregrine falcon, Fria, escapes.

Victor Canning was a prolific writer throughout his career, which began young: he had sold several short stories by the age of nineteen and his first novel, Mr Finchley Discovers His England (1934) was published when he was twenty-three. It proved to be a runaway bestseller. Canning also wrote for children: his trilogy The Runaways was adapted for US children’s television. Canning’s later thrillers were darker and more complex than his earlier work and received further critical acclaim.
