Iain Aitch reviewed Vic's first book 'Vic Templar does his chunkers' for us in issue 15 (see below)... This is more of the delightful same but in novel form. Don't miss it-it's sold out almost everywhere now.
'At just 64 pages this is not the longest book that you will read this year, but it could possibly be the most endearing. Circling somewhere between the orbits of Billy Liar and Jerry Seinfeld this collection of short autobiographical stories gives you an insight into the odd, touching and thoughtful world of the author, where Bobby Charlton is a bin man, wasps fly into mouths and an army is run by a penguin. In a time full of doom and snarkiness, this hand bound book is a wonderfully evocative slice of childish joy, taking in filmic rain soakings and a talking sock monkey...it is unlikely that you will find this book on sale at your local book chain, as it is simply not the kind of volume that can be packaged and marketed by major publishers, But, in a way, that is how it should be. This is a beautiful secret between us all. Brew up a cup of tea to Vic's formula and read this in one go in the garden, just as long as film rain isn't falling.
Lovely!
