A picture postcard of early Americana – when the circus came to town on brightly painted wagons pulled by large teams of horses – when the huge tent city was set up on a twenty acre field bringing magic to a small town – and when every young boy wanted to run away and join the circus. Faithfully adapted from the classic book by James Otis.
