AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The circus comes to a Victorian township and the narrator - reporter and subeditor of the local Goldham Constable - hears the story of Sir Bertram, chief rider of the troupe. Younger son to a noble English family he left his home for the Australian goldfields when his fiancee married his older brother. After several years' work he is injured on his way to another digging and is rescued from death by the circus troupe which he joins. Interesting narrative though style conventional. (PB)
