Les Barker writes strange poems and comes originally from Manchester, but he's now Welsh - and he was an accountant before he became a professional idiot. Now Barker presents the second volume of his wacky works performed by John Humphrys, Joss Ackland, Timothy West, Prunella Scales, Tom Paxton, Frank Hennessy, Trevor Peacock and many others. Contains the spoken word pieces "Cosmo, the Fairly Accurate Knife-Thrower," "My Snails Have Not Yet Arrived," "Lorna, the Library Book Burglar," "Death By Daffodils" and others.
