Children's ShowtimeMichael ElliottExcerpt from the introduction by David Hemingway: The plum of the book is undoubtedly the 'Parade of the Firemen.' This will surely be seen in the acts of many leading children's entertainers. Michael Elliott has at last been persuaded to go into print with his wealth of experience in entertaining children.
