Magic Mayhem Merlini and Me is Margaret Robbins Greenland’s lively 2007 memoir of growing up among Australia’s travelling show folk, where sawdust, sequins and sleight-of-hand were everyday currency. In 237 pages she recounts backstage secrets, family legends and the vanished world of tent-box magic on the far-flung colonial circuit.

Perfect for collectors of Australiana, performance history or vintage magicana, this first-edition paperback blends autobiography with social history, capturing the colour of 1950s-60s showgrounds from Birdsville to Hobart. Young adults and adults alike will relish its true-tales tone: part scrapbook, part sideside invitation.

The book shows gentle exterior wear—scuffing and light foxing to the wraps—yet the interior pages remain crisp, unmarked and firmly bound, free of notes, tears or smoke odour. A neat, readable copy ready for the shelf or the road trunk.

Add a touch of Australian circus nostalgia to your collection; searches for “Australian magic biography”, “show business memoir” or “vintage Antiquarian & Collectible paperback” land right here.
