The Greatest Show on Earth is a series of poetic peeks into conversations between creatures, humans and maybe other worldy friends. Most often we are lovingly reminded that the family is the greatest show on earth! Each piece of writing is illustrated by the magical block prints of Mary Leigh Campbell.
Leonore Hellum is a storyteller, and while her first book, Nine Lives was a collection of cat capers in prose, The Greatest Show on Earth is all in rhyme. The poems are inspired by the work of Mary Leigh Campbell.
Mary Leigh Campbell has had her work exhibited up and down the West Coast and presently lives in the Bay Area of San Francisco designing on textiles.
