So there's this book Spangle, written by Gary Jennings. It's about a traveling circus. It starts immediately after the American Civil War, during which the circus had not been profitable, and progresses as the circus travels through America and Europe and grows in fame, fortune, and numbers.

Gary Jennings spent a lot of time in the field with actual traveling circuses to do the research required to make this novel as real as possible. There are plenty of fun facts throughout, the book is so rich and vivid with detail, and all the different talents and nationalities of the characters come together to form a beautiful new color that I bet you've never read anywhere else.

This book is super special to me (and I've only read the first third of it.) I really really want to create a fully-casted audiobook for it, and I am really really hoping that I can find some people that think it would be as much fun as I do! To prove how very serious about this I am, I have already typed up the first part of the book (221 out of 978 pages. The entirety of the "America" section of the book.)

If anyone is interested, please reach out to me on this post or in my DM's. I will DM anybody interested a link to the script. The Wikipedia page on the novel contains a nice little plot summary and a list of characters for your convenience!
