Summary

Mabel Stark Made her Mark in a man's world as the greatest female tiger trainer in history. During the 1910s and 1920s, the tiny, curvaceous Kentucky blonde was a center-ring attraction for the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. Brazen, suicidally courageous, sexually adventurous, she survived a dozen severe maulings -- and five husbands. Now she returns to life in a captivating novel that immerses us in the circus's golden age. Book jacket.
