The British children's author Enid Blyton wrote five Circus books, of which the first three were in the Circus Series. In chronological order they are:
- Mr. Galliano's Circus (1938)
- Hurrah for the Circus (1939)
- Circus Days Again (1942)
- Come to the Circus (1948)
- The Circus of Adventure (1952)
The Circus Series (or trilogy) begins with Mr. Galliano's Circus, where the protagonist is Jimmy Brown. The story revolves around Jimmy, his parents, his dog, Lucky and the others like Lotta, who work in the Circus. Lotta is a small girl who rides horses.The other characters include Lilliput, the man with the monkeys; Stanley, the clown; Mr Tonks, the owner of Jumbo the Elephant; and Lotta’s parents, Lal and Laddo.
In the second book Hurrah for the Circus and the third Circus Days Again, Mr Galliano's famous circus is getting bigger and better all the time! Madame Prunella joins the show with her talking parrots, and so do three new clowns, a performing seal and twelve zebras. But everything starts to go wrong when a new ring-master arrives, and at last Jimmy and Lotta, the circus children, decide that something must be done.
The last two books mentioned in the chronology do not belong to this series (The Circus trilogy) but are stories related to the life of people in circus. Come to the Circus is a stand-alone book. The Circus of Adventure is the seventh book in The Adventure Series.
