2 PRAISE FOR THE BOOK * * * * * (5 out of 5) I have been waiting for this to come back in stock for months so am well pleased that it did! So far I have had a quick flick through it and I like what I have seen - can't wait to read it! Lez, Newcastle upon Tyne, purchased from Amazon.co.uk The Hoppings is one of the greatest fairs in Britain. Beginning as a temperance festival, it has evolved for over a century as a pleasure fair of epic proportions. Through the work of the Northern Syndicate the people of Newcastle and the north-east are treated to one of the best selections of travelling attractions in the country. Paul Lanagan s book fills a void by telling the story of this unique event. Stephen Smith, Fairground Society For more than a century the Hoppings has delighted and amazed the people of the north-east. Now Paul Lanagan has captured on paper some of its magic, with wonderful photographs to remind us of the exotic wild animals, waxwork models, marionette shows, thrilling stunts and pugilistic heroes from the past. The Hoppings remains a high spot of the Northern year, a proud part of our heritage. This is a book to enjoy and then treasure for your children.
