Review
'I like to think it will offer something for all the family to
enjoy, to be moved by - and to laugh at.' -- EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS, 2 December 06
'It is... a highly varied collection and one that should fulfill
Conn's hopes of whetting the reader's appetite... this is both a taster and
a volume of substance.' -- THE HERALD GUIDE, 9 December 06
`Both wit and wisdom, and that fusion of the two which can touch
the heart as well as the mind, distinguishes the work selected by Stewart
Conn for his anthology 100 Favourite Scottish Poems. This lovely little
book ranges from Dunbar to Douglas Dunn, taking in just about all the major
and most of the minor Scottish poets of the centuries by means of their
most memorable writing.' -- THE SCOTSMAN, 11 November 06
`Stewart Conn has brought together 100 Favourite Scottish Poems,
which is perfect for your Auntie Morag, if you're fortunate enough to have
one... Morag will love it.' -- THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT, 27 October 06
`This book provides an excellent introduction, not so much to the
best-known, but the liveliest Scottish writers; it is perhaps a testament
to the healthy state not only of writing, but of reading in Scotland
today.'
