Full Description
From the writer of
'Beware of the Bull'....
Hilarious, irreverent, poignant,
fanciful, quirky, imaginative,
original, musical, Jake Thackray
was a storytelling genius who
loved using words to entertain,
move, surprise and provoke.
While his extraordinary songs are
rightly celebrated, they were not
the beginning of his life as a
wordsmith, nor the end.
'Jake
Thackray -
The Unsung
Writer'
is a chance
to explore
Jake's other
writings,
including
love poetry;
an experimental short story;
his charming script for a school
musical; amusing pen portraits;
his first published work; tall
tales crafted for his concerts;
and his acclaimed, colourful
columns for the 'Yorkshire Post'
and 'Catholic Herald'.
This entertaining collection
provides fresh insights into Jake's
creativity and the development
of his distinctive voice
