SYNOPSIS: Part memoir part entertainment part commentary on a life lived as art Toller Cranston tells tales as only he can including: The only skating show in Haiti . . . The Broadway triumph that failed . . . The great monkey showdown . . . The pachinko wizard . . . Upstaging Joan Collins . . . The lost dog and the Cabbagetown street people . . . The decimation of John Curry . . . The wrong Miss America . . . Sonja Henie's prediction . . . Sex in Holiday on Ice . . . Golf among the mambas . . . The auction of the century . . . and other stories too strange not to be true! - and - Toller Cranston is: six-time Canadian figure-skating champion celebrity costume designer artist extraordinaire broadcaster choreographer of skating routines raconteur bon vivant coach world traveller art collector legend and enigma. In 1976 he won Olympic bronze so why did it feel like defeat. This book tells the story of his life after those fateful games at Innsbruck. The rise and fall of Toller's first professional ice show is described in soul-searing detail. His subsequent triumphant tour of Europe as the Skater of the Century is recounted in contrast with wicked humour. There are vignettes here of his encounters with the rich and famous from Leonard Bernstein to Pierre Cardin and of his life among Europe's aristocrats and bohemians. Toller has experienced the high life and the low. He has stayed in the most luxurious hotels held court in palatial houses sough seclusion in beautiful estates. But the hard times have taken their toll. In the early 1990s a combination of circumstances including a disastrous professional association with out-of-control American skater Christopher Bowman and a lawsuit that dragged on for years ending in complete victory for Toller led to a personal crisis from which recovery came slowly. But even in the blackest hours Toller's humour and creative powers never deserted him. This generously illustrated book is an extraordinary self-portrait written by a uniquely gifted individual. Toller's wit insight and delicious way with words will entertain and astound readers whether they are skating fans or not. Toller Cranston continues to skate professionally and paint prolifically. He divides his time between Toronto and San Miguel de Allende Mexico. Martha Lowder Kimball who collaborated with Toller in writing Zero Tollerance lives in Jamestown New York.

Westwood & Satchell A very desirable copy with 3 notable pieces of Crawhalliana laid in: 1 an ALS from Crawhall dated May 14 1881 to the original subscriber J.W. Pease thanking him for his subscription and promising to "send you a formal & I hope more artistic acknowledgment now in printer's hands"; 2 a printed bill to Pease for 1 copy of "The Compleatest Angling Booke" accomplished in Crawhall's hand signed and dated "June 11-12 '81" by him; and 3 large woodcut showing Crawhall peeking from behind the printer's device of William Caxton - this is a proof of the illustration on p. lxxvi and no doubt the "more artistic acknowledgment" which Crawhall promised to send to Pease. It is docketed in Crawhall's hand at the lower edge "J.W. Pease Esq. J.C's compls" Westwood & Satchell p. 70 by Andro Reid for ye author unknown‎
