Résumé :
A fascinating history of the clown in America, researched for over three years by the author, who tracked down and visisted many working and semi-retired clowns to get their stories in their own words. Filled with interesting details like descriptions of basic clown "types" (Auguste, both neat and grotesque, whiteface, and carpet). Most photographs were previously unpublished..Not for the coulrophobic.

Twenty-four page color section includes many reproductions of circus posters as well as photographs of real clowns in full make-up.
