Exuberant and inventive, this audiobook transports its listeners to an age before cinema and television, when circus performers were superstars.

Barely five feet tall, suicidally courageous, obsessed with tigers and sexually eccentric, Mabel Stark was the greatest female tiger trainer in history. Clad in her leather suits and married five times, she was the Mae West of tiger taming.

This vibrant and moving fictional autobiography begins in 1968. Mabel is turning 80 and is about to lose her job. Faced with the loss of her beloved cats, she looks back on her life, her escapades and tragedies, her love affairs with tigers and men. She confronts her darkest secrets, her guilt at committing 'the worst thing one person can do to another'. Now, with the end of life in sight, there is one thing above all else she needs to do. Mabel wants to confess.

"In this fictional autobiography of the most famous female tiger trainer of all time, listeners are treated to Betty Bobbitt's performance of the indomitable, unconventional Mabel Stark. Bobbitt's raspy voice and full-throated chuckle perfectly draw Mabel's sassy attitude, complete with period diction, circus lore, and Kentucky twang."
