In 1860s England, circus mania is sweeping the nation. Crowds jostle for a glimpse of the lion-tamers, the dazzling trapeze artists and, most thrilling of all, the so-called \u201chuman wonders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Jasper Jupiter\u2019s Circus of Wonders pitches its tent in a poor coastal town, the life of one young girl changes forever. Sold to the ringmaster as a \u201cleopard girl\u201d because of the birthmarks that cover her body, Nell is utterly devastated. But as she grows close to the other performers, she finds herself enchanted by the glittering freedom of the circus, and by her own role as the Queen of the Moon and Stars.<\/p>\n<p>Before long, Nell\u2019s fame spreads across the world\u2014and with it, a chance for Jasper Jupiter to grow his own name and fortune. But what happens when her fame begins to eclipse his own, when even Jasper\u2019s loyal brother Toby becomes captivated by Nell? No longer the quiet flower-picker, Nell knows her own place in the world, and she will fight for it.<\/p>\n<p>A gorgeously wrought exploration of celebrity, power, and belonging, this is a historical novel unlike any other, with an unforgettable heroine at its heart.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" class=\"wp-image-173866 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/25173515\/Elizabeth-Macneal_c-Mat-Smith-1-scaled-e1643160945907.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nBorn in Scotland, Elizabeth Macneal is a writer and potter based in London. <em>The Doll Factory<\/em>, Elizabeth\u2019s award winning debut novel, was an international bestseller, has been translated into twenty-nine languages, and has been optioned for a major television series.
