    The End of a Show

    Written by Barry Pain

    Narrated by Cathy Dobson

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Barry Eric Odell Pain (1864-1928) was an English journalist, poet, and writer. The End of a Show is a poignant tale of a quack showman and seller of dubious stomach pills who carries out what he believes to be his first-ever act of kindness - an act which horrifies and saddens in equal measure.
