Filled with the sights and sounds of Victorian England, Circus of
Wonders is the instant Sunday Times bestseller from Elizabeth
Macneal, author of The Doll Factory. 'Intensely satisfying' -
Stacey Halls, author of The Familiars England, 1866. When Jasper
Jupiter's Circus of Wonders arrives in a coastal village, Nell soon
catches the showman's eye. Shunned by her community because of the
birthmarks speckling her skin, to Jasper she is a prize - she could
be his very own leopard girl. But how to make her his? Soon Nell
finds herself the star of Jasper's show. Suddenly she is famous.
Crowds rush to watch her soar through the air. Figurines are cast
in her image. Even Queen Victoria wants to see her perform. But is
Nell free to live and love as she chooses? And when her fame begins
to eclipse Jasper's own, could she be in danger? After all, the
higher you fly, the steeper the fall . . . 'Filled with character
