Summary
Details

"Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare to be dazzled by the extraordinary tale that unfolds within the pages of ""Greatest Show on Earth"" by M. Willson Disher.

Written with exquisite prose and a meticulous attention to detail, ""Greatest Show on Earth"" is an enchanting tale that transports the readers to a realm where the extraordinary becomes possible and the mundane fades into the shadows.

ln 1768, a uniquely British invention created from the entertainment popular in late Georgian London, amalgamated and shaped from different traditions, was born. This innovator was Philip Astley who with his wife Patty, a gifted equestrian rider, and his horse Gibraltar, set up riding displays at Glover's 'Halfpenny Hatch'. On this site, Mr. and Mrs. Astley developed scenes of horsemanship and later incorporated older forms of entertainment such as trick riding, learned horses, acrobatics as well as clowns and performers drawn from the street to attract the crowds. It was this combination of specialty skills taken from the theatres and the streets, horsemanship and clowning from pantomime that developed into the circus entertainment we recognise today."
