"Oh, you play the harp? So what do you think of Harpo Marx?"

Who can say that they haven't heard that one before? I've found that every harpist can relate to being questioned about this particular comedian who happened to play the harp. After all, he does seem to be the most recognizable harpist to people in the general public. But what can we harpists say about him? Even his most rabid fans wouldn't have recognized him out of costume, and certainly wouldn't have found his voice familiar. In Harpo Speaks Harpo gives us a first-hand look into his fascinating life with the humor only a Marx Brother could bring.

Harpo Speaks follows Harpo Marx from his lowly beginnings up through the height of his fame with some amazing experiences in between. But throughout Harpo's book, as well as his life, he never loses sight of those early days as a poor boy in New York. It seems that all the fame, money and brilliant friends couldn't change Harpo's outlook on life. Somehow his simple, easy-going way of living got him everything he wanted out of life - to sleep in the sun with the string of a kite tickling his feet. He managed to jump from playing piano in a brothel to the most world's most recognizable harpist. And that's quite a jump.
