Ripley's Believe It or Not! Sideshow and Other Carnival Curiosities

From displays of the human form--both beautiful and grotesque--to tricks of illusion and wonders from the far-off world, the sideshow has captivated audiences since its popularity arose in the Victorian era. It was those featured on the side stages of circuses, fairground midways, and halls of exhibition that still captivate our curiosities today. This book brings these performers to life.
