Summary
In this memoir, multi-talented showbiz matriarch Norma Brophy comes out of retirement to reveal a world of interest to many but understood by few. As a born and bred 'show person', Norma is intimately aware of the glittering highs and tragic lows of a people who have brought awe and wonder to generations of Australians. With pizzazz and passion, Norma paints a vivid picture of Australian show culture from the past 100 years, playing ringmaster to a cavalcade of unforgettable characters and places that have helped form the story of her own record-breaking, death-defying family as well as countless other travelling show people, circus and rodeo folk
