About this title

Synopsis

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.

They quote 2-12 weeks time for economy post which is the cheapest postage costs which are almost never enough to cover the actual costs. If it's a thin light books it may be cheaper and more affordable to send on the faster services.

If you think it's a heavy books please confirm postage price before purchase if cost is an issure.
