The Gypsy Family Circus of 1933: Stories from a Long-Gone Era is for people who like family stories, circuses, or historical periods like the time of the Great Depression. Readers who like animals will love some of these tales about circus animals. But his major goal in writing this book was to help set the record straight about Gypsies. They are a tiny and often maligned minority and are often invisible. Steele's intent was to show that they are hard-working, reasonable folks just like any other group.
Steele worked as a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa and lived in four foreign countries. He taught at Santa Fe College and presented technical courses in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. He and his wife retired to Gainesville.
