It is now the year 1835, and Belle has returned to Bath, filled with joy at being back but deeply saddened by the absence of his most recent Caribbean love. The pain in his heart gives rise to confusion when he encounters Pablo Fanque, a Black equestrian acrobat from Norfolk, who dreams of establishing his own circus. Being a well-respected figure in Bath, Belle leverages his influence to assist, but he must navigate the treacherous path of Lord Servitude, the most despised man in England and a steadfast advocate of slavery. As always, William Keeling's whimsical tale brings Belle, his gay hero, into a situation where comedy serves as a means to address profound moral dilemmas related to prejudice and bigotry, which are as relevant today as they were during the Regency era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the conclusion of his previous adventure, Belle Nash was exiled to the island of Grenada for a period of four years.
