Beautiful Burns Book

This book is what I reach for before I go to sleep, have always loved poetry & tend to read when I seek solace. Love this Robert Burns book, very nicely done, reasonable price, if you have never given Burns a try & wish to expand your reading list, this would be an excellent addition. Also as a nice gift it is a kind & thoughtful book to share with others.

Toom your pocks an' put this beuk in't

I need Burns beside me as I live life, and this is a great one-volume collection of his greatest works in a convenient format. Glossed well; you won't have to use an index at the back of the book. Here's tae ye, Rabbie!

Great! Brief definitions in margin facilitate understanding.

Robert Burns uses a lot of Scots words, but any word you don't understand is defined in this edition in the margin right alongside the poem. So reading is smooth and very enjoyable. A great introduction to Robert Burns, and a good companion to other volumes. "Cutty Sark" means skimpy petticoat!!
