Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. The Other Side of the Circus BY Edwin P. Norwood - yellow cloth with red , illustrated . Published by Doubleday, Page and Co., 1928. "The Other Side of the Circus" offers a fascinating, behind-the-scenes exploration of the inner workings of the American circus during its golden age. Written by Edwin P. Norwood, the narrative follows a young protagonist's immersive journey through the complex ecosystem of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Far from just a spectacle of acrobats and clowns, the book reveals the massive logistical effort required to move, feed, and manage a traveling city of thousands of people and animals. Readers are invited into the backstage world, where they witness the precision of the tent-pitching crews, the care and training of exotic animals, and the daily lives of the performers who call the circus home. Norwood captures the energy and discipline that defined the 1920s circus, providing a rare historical perspective on an iconic form of American entertainment. This work serves as an invaluable record for those interested in the history of show business, logistics, and the cultural impact of the "Greatest Show on Earth." Through its vivid descriptions and authentic detail, "The Other Side of the Circus" remains a compelling tribute to the spirit of the Big Top.
