From the publisher
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.
