Opis

Tales of the Lost Flamingo takes its readers on a journey through life's circus utilizing a cast of unforgettable characters magically woven into twelve individual but interwined stories that peek through the holes in the Big Top like a dozen wide-eyed urchins.

Mr. Griffin's debut novella,, is a comic conundrum as wild and wacky as a Volkswagen full of clowns. Enjoy the show as they spasmodically spill out on the sawdust floor in a hysterical, heart wrenching tarantella that only the manic music of Mr. Griffin's calliope can provide.
