Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1984. [20pp]. "In THE JOLLY TRIMMERS or LOVE OF SLAVERY neither the words or the characters are those of Burns. But the personae of this Cantata are still with us in Scotland: the Scotsman on the make and his opportunist wife, the exile repatriated and exasperated, the alien and absentee landlord, the maligned Scottish worker, the southward-looking pedant who removes Scottishness from his students.

Book in excellent condition. No inscriptions.…
