The family biography is a popular  pastime, but few family biographies get published or are as colourful and bohemian as Sharon Connolly’s account of her vaudevillian relatives, including her great Aunt Gladys who was best known for her prowess as a whistler.  Featuring a roll-call of rogues and eccentrics, My Giddy Aunt goes beyond  biography to become a culture history of the disappearing age of  traveling troupes of entertainers in the era before cinema.
