It happens to all of us. Somewhere between the hamper and the dryer socks disappear without a trace. But, where do they go? Join Micah as he discovers the little-known world of socks, their creativity, and the adventures they have when they go missing in The Day the Sock Circus Came to Town.
Although Ivy and her family welcome the Halibuts, and their son Alfred becomes her best friend, not all the townspeople are pleased to have circus people as neighbors, especially as other circus families move in.
Going to the circus is a happy childhood memory that most children and adults fondly look back upon. This adorable children's book is a reflection of those feelings, capturing the marvel and fascination of seeing the 'greatest show on Earth' for the first time in their lives.
The Day the Circus Came to Town and other short stories Visions of a circus are usually fun and exciting, but to some people, with the fierce animals and rampant phobias of clowns, the excitement can easily be replaced with terror. Such is the case in the latest work, The Day the Circus Came to Town by horror writer Kevin Eads Various chilling and horrific tales of the circus such as when a freak show group takes vengeance on fanatical hecklers in The Day the Circus Came to Town, The Sad Clown, The Tale of the Amish Vampire, a artist serial killer wrecks havoc in The Art of the Kill. All brought to you from the bizarre and depraved mind of the author of The Elizabeth Bathory series, and Return to Camp Hell. Warning, these tales are not for the faint of heart or those offended by vulgarity and murderous clowns!
Using the life and career of her father, writer Margaret Talbot tells the story of the rise of popular culture through a personal lens. The arc of Lyle Talbot's career is in fact the story of American entertainment. Born in 1902, Lyle left small-town Nebraska in 1918 to join a traveling carnival. From there he became a magician's assistant, an actor in a traveling theater troupe, a romantic lead in early talkies, then an actor in major Warner Bros. pictures, then an actor in cult B movies, and finally a part of the advent of television, with regular roles on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and Leave It to Beaver. In her impeccably researched narrative--a combination of Hollywood history, social history, and family memoir--Margaret Talbot conjures warmth and nostalgia for those earlier eras of '10s and '20s small-town America, '30s and '40s Hollywood.--From publisher description.
