A magical tale about a mysterious little circus that visits a dusty Arizona town and transforms the lives and perspectives of everyone who visits its strange and exotic exhibits, creatures and performances. The book was brought brilliantly to life in the film "7 Faces of Dr. Lao," thanks to Tony Randall, who played multiple parts in the film.

Look for versions of the book containing the original illustrations by the brilliant Boris Artzybasheff.
