review 1: I am a massive fan of Clive Barker and reading ‘The Adventures of Maximillian Bacchus & His Travelling Circus’ was like catching up with an old friend, I love his style of writing, the possibilities that anything and everything can happen within his universe.All of the characters are wonderfully written, glorious in fact, my favourite character was Malachi the crocodile, I loved his stories, he was quite the traveller and I loved the fact he was not what you expected a crocodile to be. All of the characters were vibrant, likeable, individual and fantastic to read. The illustrations by Richard A. Kirk are wonderfully done. I hope I get read more tales of Maximillian Bacchus & His Travelling Circus.
review 2: "The Adventures of Mr. Maximillian Bacchus" is a s... morehort children's novel written by Clive Barker at around eighteen years of age. The writing is quite remarkable for someone so young, and reading this lightweight, whimsical tale, it isn't difficult to see this as the beginning of what would prove to be a major talent. Max Bacchus and his circus travel through a strange country, delivering their entertainments to those who ask for them, and meeting various bizarre characters. The plot is simple, and the people who make up the circus give it life. There are lots of unusual goings-on, as readers of Barker's later works will expect, but this is a very lighthearted story, and features none of the spookiness or demons of his later work.The book was published in a limited edition, and is worth seeking out for Barker completists. less
