  A note about the book

  The three Illions Supreme carousels were real, but the fourth one, in Pajaro Bay, is fiction. Marcus Charles Illions was a real person who created some of the most amazing carousels ever carved (and he reportedly really did spend his days off watching the horses at the local racetrack). If you'd like to learn more, Gilded Lions and Jeweled Horses is one of the best scholarly works on the subject; and the Illions "rose" horse itself was the cover model for the definitive coffee table book about carousels, Painted Ponies.
