The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Karl Wallenda was the most famous circus performer of the 20th Century. From the childhood days of poverty and performances in the 'Biergartens' of World War One Germany to earn enough money to feed his family to the days of triumph and tragedy as the headline act for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Baily Circus the story of Karl Wallenda is a tale of unremitting courage, gargantuan strength and simple price in doing the one thing only he could do.
Readers will be thrilled to read of the conquest of fear in the creation of heretofore impossible feats and saddened with the inevitable deaths when so much relies on pure courage and will.
