He was a friend of the late Les Barker and continues to sell Les' merchandise to raise money for Amnesty International, Les' nominated charity. The set includes many Jake classics (Sister Josephine, On Again On Again, The Bantam Cock etc), anecdotes from the recent biography plus some recently discovered 'lost' Thackray masterpieces. Les Barker's wonderful poetry is celebrated through such gems as Reg was a Lonely Glow Worm, Dachsunds with Erections, Spot of the Antarctic and Deja vu.
