The book is full of engaging reminiscences and adventures of the lives of celebrities in the field, including Philip Astley, Andrew Ducrow, Van Amburgh, John and George Sanger, and many more. The author interests the readers by describing some fascinating tricks and performances of the circus during the period. The book contains vivid descriptions of the methods of training and practicing used in the circus, such as animal training, gymnastics training, rope dance practice, etc. English writer and journalist Thomas Frost has attempted to present a fresh perspective of the circus and its people.
