About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The new book is the story of Francia Abbot Maccomb and her daughter, Capri, who inherited a carnival at the death of Francia's brother.
The troubles they encountered at the hands of the manager, a shady character who hoped by discouraging the pair to get control of the traveling band, their efforts to clean up gambling tents and replace them with legitimate entertainment is only part of the story.
The characterization of circus performers, mechanics and roustabouts is well done and the romantic interlude that appeals to the teen ager reader is gracefully and tactfully accomplished. Mrs. Butters seems to have a real knowledge of carnival jargon, troupers and practices and even explains some of the tricks of the trade. If you've always wanted to know how a woman is sawed in half, you can find the answer in "Carnival Gypsy".
Dorothy Gilman Butters
Dorothy Gilman (1923 - 2012) started writing when she was 9. At 11, she competed against 10 to 16-year-olds in a story contest and won first place. Dorothy worked as an art teacher and telephone operator before becoming an author. She wrote children stories for more than ten years and then began writing adult novels about Mrs. Pollifax–a retired grandmother who becomes a CIA agent. The Mrs. Pollifax series made Dorothy famous. While her stories nourish people’s thirst for adventure and mystery, Dorothy knows about nourishing the body as well. She used to live on a farm in Nova Scotia, where she grew medicinal herbs. Her knowledge of herbs comes through in many of her stories, including A Nun in the Closet, in which a nun treats a man’s wounds with the herbs growing nearby. Many of Dorothy’s books, including Caravan, feature strong women having adventures around the world.
