P. The Circus Boys on the Flying Rings; Or, Making the Start in the Sawdust Life Circus boys series Greg Berckes "The Circus Boys on the Flying Rings; Or, Making the Start in the Sawdust Life" by Edgar B. P. Darlington is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two boys, Phil Forrest and Teddy Tucker, who dream of joining a circus and embarking on thrilling escapades filled with excitement and friendship. Throughout their journey, they encounter challenges, including the strict authority of Phil's uncle, leading to moments of both peril and triumph, as they navigate the highs and lows of seeking their dreams in the dazzling world of the circus. The opening of the story introduces us to Phil and Teddy as they daydream about performing aerial stunts like trapeze artists. Phil’s life is fraught with difficulties due to his miserly uncle, who scorns his ambitions. After a confrontation with his uncle over Phil's desire to attend the circus—a rare pleasure since his mother’s death—Phil finds himself homeless but optimistic. He seeks work and helps a circus manager save a lion's cage on the brink of toppling, which earns him a ticket to the show and begins to establish his place in this thrilling new world. This opening sets the stage for Phil's evolution from a restricted boy into a budding circus performer, capturing the reader’s attention with themes of adventure, resilience, and the quest for freedom.
