This is the best, the clearest, the sharpest, the only guide you will ever need. --From the Foreword by Professor Murray Pittock
Product Description
Clark McGinn, one of the foremost Burns Supper speakers in the world, presents the Ultimate Guide to the Burns Supper;, containing all the information you need to enjoy a Supper, whether as host, speaker or guest. It includes: complete run through of what to expect on the night, with a list of courses and speeches; what to wear; how to prepare and present speeches; common Burns Supper questions (and their answers!); Burns' greatest poems, including a full English verse translation of the Address to a Haggis and answers to your worries about eating haggis and drinking whisky. Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware, That jaups in luggies; But if ye wish her gratfu' prayer, Gie her a Haggis! 'Address to a Haggis,' - Robert Burns. With detailed descriptions and instructions by a recognised and widely credited Burns supper speaker, this is a guide to a widespread and popular social event that has been practiced for 200 years. It is also an informal, light hearted introduction to an event that non Scots might otherwise find confusing or intimidating.

Every year I get asked to write some Burns Night speeches, and until this year I passed because I wasn't at all familiar with the ritual. This year I agreed to do one, and I invested in Clark McGinn's book to get me through it. His advice is practical, he's written it in a friendly and accessible style, and his public speaking advice is spot on. Next year I'll be able to organise my own supper!

This modern look at this old tradition is as packed full of quirky facts as the haggis itself - enjoyable as a practical guide to arranging Burns night and as a good read about this Scottish tradition. Lots of fun, just like a good Burns Supper!

I've seen Clark McGinn perform at Burns Suppers -- he knows what he's writing about! Wonderful.
