Title: The acrobat
Description: "Arthur Barnes was the world's greatest acrobat. This book traces his story as a bright thread of triumphs and tragedies running through the tapestry of the mid Victorian era. He escapes the doom of the iron foundry by bounding out of the slums of the East End of London to become the "champion vaulter of all the world.""--Provided by publisher.
