Tony McCarthy is a circus historian and enthusiast. His lifelong interest in circus was initially sparked by the childhood visits to his family home of both Teddy Fossett and Tom Duffy when their circuses visited Limerick. Tony would listen fascinated as these great Irish circus aristocrats reminisce in the company of Tony's late father, Patrick about the circuses that had performed in Cappamore, County Limerick over the years and the famous artistes who had frequented McCarthy's Circus Bar in the village. Tony has wonderful memories of the build-up on the Fairgreen in Cappamore and the hosting of the Big Top alongside so many other excited and happy children. While still in his early-twenties Tony travelled during the summer with Fossetts Circus and his good friends Paddy and Mary Brennan. He hopes that this book conjures up memories of those most halcyon of days.
