A Circus That Opens at Dusk

Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus, published in 2011, centers on Le Cirque des Rêves, the Circus of Dreams. It arrives without warning and is open only at night, its tents striped in black and white.

Behind the wonder lies a contest between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, bound since childhood by their teachers, including Celia's father, Prospero the Enchanter. Their magic shapes tents such as the Ice Garden, while a bonfire burns at the circus's center.

Devoted fans called rêveurs wear red scarves and follow the circus around the world. Twins Poppet and Widget, born on opening night, have special gifts that become crucial to the story.
