GLOBE AND MAIL included Circus and Carnival Ballyhoo in the holiday gift book section on December 11th, 2010. “A former circus owner chronicles the colourful history of sideshows. Full of photos from the author’s private collection and evocative slang such as ‘grifters’ and ‘lot lice,’ the book links exhibitions of freaks and curiosities past to today’s Body Worlds science shows and reality-TV contests involving the ingestion of bugs.” The piece may be read online here.
