Peter Larkin is a real lover of old time Burlesque. He's lovingly researched the old sketches, and updated them making them more accessable for a modern audience. He's done a wonderful job, and this volume is a great resource. Between the sketches and Mr. Larkin's excellent notes the reader really gets to see what this lost form of entertainment was all about.
