Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Little Acrobat: A Story of Italy" by Janie Prichard Duggan is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young Italian boy named Natale, who is part of a traveling circus family, as he grapples with the challenges of circus life while dreaming of becoming a great performer like the talented acrobat Antonio Bisbini. Natale's journey reflects themes of family, belonging, and the pursuit of dreams amid the backdrop of Italy's picturesque landscapes. The opening of the story introduces Natale and his traveling family as they make their way along a dusty road to the town of Cutigliano. Natale, a small and scrappy boy, walks beside a caravan pulled by an unconventional team of horses and dogs while coping with his sickly sibling, Pietro. The reader observes Natale's environment, his affection for his circus family, and his aspirations to excel in acrobatics despite his perceived awkwardness. As the circus prepares for its arrival in the town, we see Natale's innocence and the close-knit relationships within his unconventional but loving family, setting the stage for the adventures and challenges he will face throughout the narrative.
