Biography of Tim
Recently when Tim arrived there was quite a stir amongst the circus-folks, which include Petra, Effie og Poppet. And honestly one could understand that because even before he had put on his clothes they hung around glaring like teenagers.Not only had Poppet been in love with him in her not-so-old-days - she even remembered the tasty pancakes he made her- but Effi had once seen him doing his canon-ball-stunt while he toured with Astra`s Flying Circus, and ever since she had fret because she never got his autograph.
But hey, now she would get it!
