It was very interesting reading about the early years of Giffords Circus. As a huge fan of Giffords Circus, but only having seen the last five years worth of shows, it was great to read about how it all started. We intend to keep it our family tradition of visiting every year. It really is the most amazing show ever.

The story of how Nell and Toti Gifford created the famous Giffords circus. Enthralling and a pictorial feast.
