As Art Concello himself would have said, Great f--ing read!--John Ringling North II, circus owner and son of Henry Ringling North Maureen Brunsdale takes you under the sidewall and into the spangled world of the circus, where the spotlight shines on performers and shrewd operators, and the craftiest of them all provides a breathtaking center ring performance.--Chris Berry, Circus Historian and Author A stupendously fascinating biography of Art Concello - a complex individual who had a Jumbo-sized impact on the 20th century American circus. Maureen Brunsdale brings to life this enigmatic man as he stayed in the shadows yet modernized John Ringling North's giant extravaganza, charting it through turbulent as well as triumphant times. The interwoven account of Concello's first wife and triple-somersaulting flyer, Antoinette, is equally compelling. Bravo!--Greg Parkinson, Editor of Bandwagon, former Executive Director of Circus World Museum Brunsdale brings to life the controversial Arthur Concello in her in-depth new book.
