About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Joe Strong on the Trapeze; Or, The Daring Feats of a Young Circus Performer by Vance Barnum. Read in English by Gerald Moe. Joe Strong was a favorite hero and could ride any horse, juggle most anything, and climb buildings, all with a steel reserve. He was the child of unique parents: a mother that rode trick horses and a magician for his father. However, in Horatio Alger fashion, by age five, he was without either parent. So he grew up in a circus and Joe Strong on the Trapeze relates the time in his life when he joins the circus! Summary by Gerald A Moe Vance Barnum is a pseudonym of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, which mass-produced popular children's books throughout the 1900s.
