COME TO THE CIRCUS - MICHELLE WARD INTERVIEWS JOAN ROSAIRE AND KEN PORTER IN BRENTWOOD'S PHOENIX FM BOOK CLUB

Queen of the Rosaire Circus, Joan, author Ken Porter and yours truly 

A super Friday visiting Michelle Ward at Phoenix FM studio in Brentwood with two friends who have just published their book about the circus.  Here we introduce Joan Rosaire and Ken Porter. Their book LADY OF THE CIRCUS is now on sale on Amazon and also directly via Ken Porter, well known local author who has already written half a dozen books set in the Essex countryside and I'm currently enjoying this memoir of Joan's  incredible life in the circus ring, and her earlier appearances at London's famous Palladium theatre, among others with her famous horse, Goldy. We are also treated to tales of her working with the world's top entertainers and meeting so many famous folk, including former King Peter of Yugoslavia, Charlie Chaplin and our own royal family. Many people all over the world remember Joan's work training animals, particularly horses in her Great Burstead home.
