"Get your tickets here for the circus! Finest show in the world!"

Boom-boom-boom

Those words or words like them have probably been seen before because Enid Blyton liked her circuses and treated us to many performances which involved lots of varied characters. I don't know whether Peter and Mollie flew in their Wishing Chair to attend this circus but certainly their namesakes did and the whole show was thoroughly enjoyed.

The circus in this book is a typical Enid Blyton conglomeration of talents though it would probably fall short of the Ringling Bros./Barnum and Bailey institutions not to mention a favourite one that travels throughout Britain Galliano's Circus, but it contains all the acts necessary to make up a good afternoon show.
