To
Every Boy or Girl Who Loves
the American Circus,
This Book is Dedicated
by

One Whose Heart still Pounds at the Blare of the Circus Band, and Who Revels in the Odor of the Sawdust Ring, and the Dad, Sweet Smell of Crushed Grass, and the Push and Hustle of the Circus Crowd.

The Elephant

When people call this beast to mind,
They marvel more and more
At such a little tail behind,
So large a trunk before.

Hilaire Belloc.
