THE CIRCUS STEALERS
There’s nothing
new under the sun in Idiots’ Valley, home of Harry Stephen Keeler’s Screwball Circus. Angus MacWhorter’s circus has made it across Old Twistibus—the
windingest road in the world—but there’s still an important wagon that Rance
Holly has to drive to catch up with the rest of the circus in Foleysburg, or
the circus will be lost to rival entrepreneur, Wolf Gladish. There’s no
nuttier place in the country than Idiots’ Valley, with its pack of
illiterate bumpkins, and Harry and Hazel milk it for all it’s worth in this
first English-language edition of a Keeler classic!
