“Peter and I just about died of envy. We all wanted to see a circus powerful bad. I used to save the discarded newspapers or magazines that had stories about the circus so the others could read them too. There were real lions and folks flinging themselves through the air on trapezes. The circus was the one thing that might make me leave Whistle.” —When the Circus Came to Town by Laurence Yep
