...into bar stools, heads cut from bodies, and carved wooden animals sold to antique dealers. "Carousels are diminishing to a terrible extent," mourns Frederick Fried, author of A Pictorial History of the Carousel. To halt the destruction, more than 200 lovers of that old amusement-park staple gathered in Sandwich, Mass., on Cape Cod not long ago to form the National Carousel Roundtable and dedicate themselves to ensuring the future of the merry-go-round, the whirligig and the flying jinny-as carousels have been variously known in their 95-year history...

It is a brave man (or somebody from out of town) who doesn't cross the street when he sees this wild, hoary figure loping at him with the sandwich board reading: "But who am I-really?" Only a novelist who is intense enough or funny enough can continue to hold an audience with his glittering eye when he stabs a finger in the air and cries: "Once upon a time there was this not-so-little lost...
