More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This selection gives equal weight to the two aspects of Robert Burns's reputation, as a lyricist and as a much-loved Scottish poet. Placing works in probable order of composition, it includes lyrics to his most well known songs, such as the nostalgic Auld Lang Syne, the romantic A Red, Red Rose, and the patriotic Scots What Hae. As a poet, Burns wrote with deceptive simplicity and imaginative sympathy, and demonstrated enormous range - from comic dramatic monologues such as Holy Willie's Prayer, which mocks hypocrisy, to narratives including the celebrated Tam O' Shanter, about the ghostly visions of a drunk.

Format:Kindle Edition
The one star is for the kindle edition of this work; it is utterly appalling for something that costs almost £7. I have yet to find a well formatted Kindle edition of the work of Robert Burns, so for the moment I recommend you stick with an actual book and that the book you stick with should be 'Robert Burns, The Complete Poetical Works' edited by by James A Mackay and published by Alloway publishing.
The poems are a work of genius, the formatting is the work of an imbecile.

Ideal to have in backpack at University. Contains all the classic poems and songs Burns is known for. The book is light and compact and very good value for money.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Bought this book when learning a couple of pieces for a Burns Night and was soon struck by the sheer genius of the baird to the point had trouble putting it down even after pieces learned and performed.
What is more at a price which means you really don't have to think twice, highly recommended.
