And in every age there has been an outstanding clown of some kind – a man who has been lughed at and loved and so gained his place in history. The clowns of today owe much to the fools and jesters of the past, not only in the ways they choose to be funny but also in the clothes they wear. Charlie Chaplin’s too-large trousers and shoes and too-small jacket, for example, hasrk back to the clothes worn by clowns in the reing of the first Queen Elizabeth. This book shows some of the ancient art that lies behind a modern clowns’s antics».
