Sharkey tells the compelling story of an unusually gifted, trained sea lion who shared
the stage with practically every important performer of the first half of the twentieth
century--from Bob Hope to Ella Fitzgerald, from Broadway to Hollywood and beyond.
Readers follow Sharkey and his flippered colleagues as they travel the world with
stops at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, vaudeville houses, Manhattan
during the Harlem Renaissance, burlesque nightclubs, movie palaces, Radio City Music
Hall, and the legendary studios of early radio, movies, and television, meeting a
who's who of showbiz entertainers, sports superstars, and even a US president. Meticulously
researched and lavishly illustrated, Sharkey is a quirky slice of New York and entertainment
history sure to delight fans of vintage pop culture and Americana, as well as animal
lovers.
