Voices: Son of the Circus - A Victorian Story
explores the life of a young mixed-race boy, Ted, living with his
mother and poorly older brother in Victorian Bradfield.“The
superb Voices series takes unsung
heroes of the past and imagines them recounting the story of their
remarkable lives' ” - The Times


When a stranger, a man the boys don't remember ever seeing before,
appears in their kitchen, Ted is hit with a shocking revelation.
This man is his father – the first black circus
owner in Victorian Britain, Pablo Fanque.



Before Ted can recover from his shock, he is sent away with Pablo
to learn the tricks of the circus trade. Pablo is determined
for Ted to follow in his footsteps.





But can Ted adapt to this terrifying new life amongst strangers?


And will he ever see his beloved mother and brother again?




Fresh new voice, E. L. Norry, continues this exciting new series
that explores authentic and moving accounts of the life of British
immigrants throughout history. Norry shows us a fascinating
and rarely seen world that's sure to hook young readers.


"E. L. Norry's Son of the Circus is perfect for children
with an itch to run away to spit and sawdust and rearing
horses, in a fictionalised account of Pablo Fanque, the first black
circus proprietor in Victorian Britain. A joy of a book: exciting
and brilliantly vivid.' Katherine Rundell
