Lots of great history here. The book isn't written particularly well -- kind of a stream of
consciousness kind of writing, so it moves from one story to an unrelated story to another unrelated
story -- but the stories themselves are really interesting and the book is a wonderful look at Dante
and his shows and adventures, as well as at show business of his day. If you're at all interested in
magic history, you'll enjoy (and learn a lot from) this book.
