Linn Sheldon has few peers as a story-teller. For 32 years, he enchanted children and charmed parents as Barnaby, one of the earliest and arguably one of the best television entertainers in Cleveland -- or anywhere. Barnaby spun imaginative tales out of thin air to enthrall his audience. Now, the master storyteller shares his most intriguing tale yet: his own extraordinary life. From a Dickensian childhood in Norwalk, Ohio, Sheldon began an oddysey that would lead across the country to Hollywood and back to Ohio, and include a pioneering role in television, celebrity, money, personal tragedy and self-destruction, recovery, and, now reflection. It is a remarkable mix of melancholy, hilarity, irony, and warmth.
