"Polly of the Circus" by Margaret Mayo is a novel likely written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Polly, a young circus performer whose life is deeply intertwined with the vibrant yet tumultuous world of the circus. Through her experiences, the book explores themes of love, loss, ambition, and the search for belonging. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Polly as she sits in the dressing tent of the "Great American Circus," reflecting on the events surrounding a new performer, a girl known as the "Leap of Death." The accompanying characters, including the protective and loving figures of Jim and Toby, hint at a close-knit circus community that has taken Polly in after the death of her mother. As the narrative unfolds, we witness Polly's aspirations, her remarkable talent on horseback, and the bonds she shares with her unconventional family, all while foreshadowing the challenges and heartaches yet to come as she navigates both her artistic journey and the realities of life in the circus. The opening chapters set up a rich tapestry of joy and sorrow, revealing Polly’s inner world, her longing for connection, and the inevitable consequences of a life on the road.
