Ah yes, those were the days, my friend . . . we thought they'd never end . . . we'd sing and dance forever. We'd live the life that - well, everyone wants to, of course, but no one can.

Thanks, Ray, for writing it all down!

Great story. Especially for a rennje to read
Not the best written book and has some parts that drag. But glad I read it.
Even if I took a break in the middle to read 4 other Books. H

The story of a guy that starts up a rennie festival stilt dancing group. It's a novel but obviously based on real renaissance festival experience. The story was well told and an interesting look at the early years of rennie festivals.

My Uncle is the author of this book. I remember a few of the events in the book, but it was really fun to hear them from his perspective. The book is humorous, and a fun look into the Rennisance Festival way of life not seen in any other book.

A cool view into the life of Rennies and other people who work that circuit, but not the best writing style ever. Creative, descriptive, but regularly cliche.

A book about Rennies :-) All my friends should give it a read!
