Toronto: Viking [0-670-86320-3] 1995, 1st printing. (Hardcover) 457pp. Near fine in fine dust jacket. Illustrations. "On a hot day in August in 1860, as a huge crowd roared and brass bands played, twenty-two-year-old William Hunt walked boldly up the stairs of a wooden platform built on the edge of the Niagara gorge. Stretched out before him was the breathtaking panorama of the Falls, and a long, looping high wire. Signor Farini, as he called himself, looked confident in his colourful costume, devilishly handsome black goatee and waxed moustache. Just eleven months earlier he had never so much as set foot upon a tightrope in public. In moments he would triumph... Or die". Also known as Great Farini. Biography of William Hunt. Book about Tightrope Walking. Time Period 1860's & 19th Century. (Biography, Biography, Canadians, Gymnastics).
