[THE CIRCUS]. MAY, STELLA BURKE. Chico the Circus Cherub. New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1928. First Edition. With charming illustrations by Bernice Oehler. Very good slightly dust soiled copy with a bit of minor edge wear. A sweet tale of circus life which begins: “Of all the wise babies in a wise, wise world, the Circus Cherub was wisest. He thought things out for himself and this is what he thought: ‘I will just be born in the Winter Quarters before Tenting Time begins. Then Mimi, my Mother, and Rico, my Father, can start the circus season with their flying trapeze act and not miss a single performance. I can travel with them and the circus and live the circus life.’ Which is exactly what he did.”
