Book description
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It
is simply there, when yesterday it was not. The black sign, painted in
white letters that hangs upon the gates, reads:
Opens at Nightfall
Closes at Dawn
As the sun disappears beyond the horizon, all over the tents small
lights begin to flicker, as though the entirety of the circus is
covered in particularly bright fireflies. When the tents are all
aglow, sparkling against the night sky, the sign appears.
Le Cirque des Rêves
The Circus of Dreams.
Now the circus is open.
Now you may enter.
