Produktbeschreibung

'There is probably no better modern introduction to Burns's work . . . A triumph.'
Herald

'Presents Burns as a poet infinitely worth reading.'
Daily Telegraph

'People who find it hard to get into Robert Burns have the answer to their prayers with this book. Here are the greatest poems presented in a way that Burns himself would have enjoyed - getting the poems chime and rhyme with the debates that surround us in the world today. Somebody clever once said that poetry helps you to live your life, and here is Burns at his most helpful . . . I think the book will change a lot of people's attitudes to poetry.'
EWAN McGREGOR
