Author: Gurvis, Sandra

Condition: New

Sarasota would not be what it is today without the influence of the Ringling family, particularly John and Mable Ringling and Johns brother Charles. Unlike some other entertainers of the era, the Ringling family saw their enterprise as a business and as a way of entertaining the masses through good, clean fun. Three Ringling Circus will focus on the history of this family and will bring to life (and light) their past and present impact on Sarasotas unique artistic, historical and cultural scene, a rarity in Florida, where much of the economy is driven by tourism and the retirement industry.
