Grandpa's Day at the Circus

Grandpa's Day at the Circus is a true story about a young boy's one day-adventure on the grounds of a touring circus in the town of Cornwall, New York in the 1950's. In those days small towns across America were visited periodically by the circus as part of their yearly tour. Many of the traditions of the times are woven into the story, leaving fond memories of that by gone era to those who lived it. The story is told by a grandfather to his grandchildren in the form of a letter many years later. Grandparents will remember and grandchildren will learn as they read of the experiences of this young boy.
