A tiny blonde in a white leather bodysuit, Mabel Stark was brazen, obsessed with tigers and sexually eccentric. This glittering new novel brings to life a world before television and cinema, when the spectacle of the circus reigned and Mabel was the star attraction of the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. In The Final Confession of Mabel Stark, she relates her astonishing life, from her escape from a mental institution to her dazzling career as a celebrity performer, including a dozen maulings, five husbands and her one true love, a Bengal tiger called Rajah. In this magical book, Robert Hough has captured all the grit and glamour of the golden age of the big top.ISBN:9781843541530
