Circle of Sawdust : A Circus Memoir of Mud, Myth, Mirth, Mayhem and Magic

Circle of Sawdust is a uniquely personal story of the wild characters, fascinating personalities, forgotten histories, and a true behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of traditional traveling circuses.It's a story about a boy's impulse to run off and join the circus-and what happened when he did. It's also about the idealistic struggle to hold onto a dream for decades through doubt, failure, loss, and tragedy. Mermin's story raises the question: how long should you hold onto an implausible dream, when should you let it go, change it-or stubbornly stay with it and, finally, succeed? And then what happens...?With humor and philosophy, Mermin writes about the passionate life of a creative artist, the ups & downs of taking risks, pursuing a dream, and making a reality out of the myth of running off to join the circus.
