This story is beautifully written about an elderly man in his 90's living in a care home. It portrays how Jacob, the 92 yr old feels being all alone in this world after his parents died during the Depression years . His vivid imagination takes him to the days of being a circus vet and jumps on a moving train. He meets a group of rough looking guys who decide to let him stay on the train and finds out it is a circus train . Jacob ends up meeting the circus trainer and his wife and later falls in love with her. I also loved the transition to his real life and how the care aids really looked after him despite his negative attitude. Brilliant!
