Tiny Tim: Tiptoe Through a Lifetime

’Tiny is totally modern. He said, ＂Whenever there’s more than two, it’s a show＂. And an amazing show, giving and pouring it out, while the audience is joking at first and digging each other in the ribs. He’ll wear them out. He’ll wear all their resistance out until they’re up on the floor dancing. He’ll amaze them and they won’t remember it because they won’t want to say that Tiny Tim was amazing.’ - Martin Sharp, artist.

’I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It brought back a host of memories in capturing the very essence of Tiny Tim.’ - Hal Stein, Tiny Tim’s cousin

Lowell Tarling has been writing ever since he could hold a pencil. His literary journey began with him scribbling down observations and life events much as an artist would sketch; here a little, there a little.

He is the quintessential searcher and this, along with an open acceptance of people and their lives and passions, has brought him into contact with a wonderful diverse group of artists, dissidents, minstrels and songwriters. A lifelong friendship with the artist Martin Sharp has resulted in a book that combines an inner view of Tiny Tim, the man and the performer, and also a remarkable range of artistic images by Martin.
