Bring on the Clowns - Beryl Hugill

I got this book from the library to expand my knowledge on my subject matter. A lot of the book is mostly based on historical clowns and how the clown's act has changed.

Some of the points made in the book help to emphasise why people are scared of clowns in particular when it mentions different performances which involve fire, animals such as lions and horses, as well as jokes about suicide.

The book also helped me to consider ideas for my visual journal because of the different makeup and costumes that famous clowns had and how their looks have changed overtime which could be in relation to people's fear of clowns.
