MICHAEL SAGE (1912-1995)

About the Author:  Mike Sage's work experiences through his acting days on Broadway and radio all enriched his writing skills which he utilized in various mediums from ASCAP radio scripts to training manuals, teaching public speaking and remedial English, and finally in his last employment in Philadelphia as public relations director for non-profits. He was an avid reader all his life, and his love of words and the humor and fun he found in them is evident in his writings.

One Good Friend

One Good Friend was republished in paperback by Sage ReadAloud in 1999. The plot is deceptively simple: a lonely boy meets a lonely wolf at the zoo. A bond between them is woven, strand by strand. The author captures a glimpse of the universal truths of loneliness, the need for all life to seek closeness, loyalty, and unity with its own kind.

. . .Most of us have endured a feeling of loneliness at some time in our lives. . .I set out to write a story about that feeling for everyone who has ever been lonely. . .-- Michael Sage
