Circus Parade is a novel about a small time, traveling circus and the colorful characters that put on the show, set up and took down the tent and most of all, ripped off the rubes as it traveled from town to town. This book was quite controversial when it was first published in 1927 because of its frank description of the lives behind the greasepaint and tinsel. Fans of Sara Gruens novel Water for Elephants will recognize Circus Parade was a major influence on her book.

Jim Tully has largely been forgotten today, but during the 1920s and 1930s he was considered one of Americas best writers, routinely ranked with Hemingway and Fitzgerald as a true American voice.

This Ring eBooks edition of this forgotten American classic is DRM free.

What The Critics Said:

"It would be hard to overestimate the vividness and power of this extraordinary book." The American Mercury

"It is not a book for people with squeamish tastes, but those who value a courageous picture of life in the raw will wish it were twice as long." The Saturday Review

If Tully were a Russian, read in translation, all the professors would be hymning him. He has all of Gorkys capacity for making vivid the miseries of poor and helpless men, and in addition he has a humor that no Russian could conceivably have. - H.L. Mencken
