'.. a fascinating book ... a very worthy addition to the library of fairground books.' Fairground Mercury ' ... a rare insider's view of fairground life in Scotland.' Romany Routes ' ... oral testimonies that recall their remarkable family story across the last two centuries ... The book is structured around the interviews, which have been kept largely intact, but still manages to progress the family story in chronological order ... All the fun of the fair and more.' Discover My Past Scotland ' ... Bruce's volume illustrates the world of the showfolk, and shows that this was a business that required constant innovation and a careful juggling, within a closely knit community, between competition and co-operation.' Ayrshire Notes ' ... this book is a valiant effort to capture and record the lives of those who might be on the periphery of local lives, but played an important part in local leisure activities.' The Local Historian
