Description

Roll up!! Roll up!! For all the fun of the fair. Are you ready for the show to begin? Will you stare along with the crowds or are you tired of not knowing what’s locked in the shadows behind the fair? When the pellets are cold on the floor and the darts are stuck in the board, when the generator splutters to a halt and the lights go out, what happens then? Born a showman: The Autobiography of an English Showman - Part 1 - For All the Underdogs, offers a rare insight into what life behind the Hook A Duck sign is really like. Laugh and cry with Robert Leon Wheatley's memoir, the true account of an authentic English Showman, born into the Showland community that has for centuries been the story of the survival of the quick witted. Read as the author tells of tackling family struggles, working with the general public and the pain, the panic and the depression of it all, while not forgetting the good times nor the bad. "Born in the 70’s, raised in the 80’s & 90’s and still learning," Robert speaks candidly about the changing face of the English funfair and all the fun of the the slides and the rides, the ups and the downs of a Showman's life. This book offers a rare behind the scenes look at England's biggest and smallest funfairs; Showman family lives travelling during the season and in the "yards," their winter quarters; the coastal Showman; the parties; the tamer fights and much more. With family trees and over 270 photos, it proves to be a fascinating read. Part 2 will follow with more family trees and fairground photos. Robert will kindly donate his proceeds from this book to charities including the Showman's Children's Charity, the Showman's Mental Health Charity and to Cancer Research. Enjoy the the read and look for Part II soon.
