miliosr Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 The recent New York Times article about the whereabouts of the the subject of A Very Young Dancer got me to thinking about another Jill Krementz book from the same era: A Very Young Circus Flyer. This book featured the Flying Farfans trapeze troupe, especially the youngest member of the troupe -- Armando Farfan Jr. I think for young boys this book was the equivalent of A Very Young Dancer. Happily, Armando Farfan (and his brother Gino) -- in comparison to the subject of A Very Young Dancer -- appear to have had long, storied careers in the circus. (Gino Farfan is one of the co-owners of Circus Warehouse in New York.) Did anyone else love this book as a kid??? Link to comment
dirac Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'm not familiar with the book, so I'd be interested in any responses from those who have, as well. Link to comment
