Daughter of a stuntwoman and an insect tamer, Viola Vermeer is
truly full of surprises. Through the wanderings of the Moon Circus at
the end of 1800, Viola travels Europe, America and Asia. During her
travels she runs into all sorts of magic and intrigue. Astounded by
the beauty of the world around her, Viola is sensitive to the arts that
compound her daily existence. Accompanied by her animal friends
(Sinbad the gibbon and her father’s insects), and also by the circus
family, Viola goes on to meet Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, and later
Antonin Dvorak. A real coming-of-age story in which art and beauty
are celebrated on every page.
