"The Luath Burns Companion" is a unique introduction to the works of one of Scotland's best loved poets by a man with an obvious love and depth of understanding for Burns and his work. This selection reveals the drama, passion, pathos and humour that make Burns' work what it is. He was always a forward thinking man and remains a writer for the future.
