Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Global Fool: A History of the ClownWhy do clowns both delight and disturb? Why have fools endured across time, culture, and performance?The Global Fool: A History of the Clown is a sweeping, richly illustrated exploration of one of humanity's most enduring figures.
