The Hungry Clowns is the classic tale about a group of clowns banished to the woods in the 1700s who were facing demise until they did something so shocking that it still evokes a fear of clowns around the world centuries later. This book has been both burned and banned-by those unable to see the powerful parable that lies within the horrific tale. It is a classic children's tale, but it is definitely not suitable for most children.
