Inside the story
Signor Brunoni is a travelling conjuror who comes to the quiet town of Cranford to give performances. His arrival draws the attention of the town’s residents and soon unsettles their sense of safety, as rumours of theft spread among them.
Theatrical stage magician in exotic 'Turkish' costume with turban and flowing robes; moustached, dark-browed performer's look; later seen frail and invalid.
