NIGHT OUT WITH ROBERT BURNS (THE CANONS)

Robert Burns has been idolised, eulogised. sainted, painted, tarted-up and toasted. He is famous for writing 'Auld Lang Syne' and being the the patron of the heart-sore and hung-over. But what about the poems? Beneath the cult of Burns there is the work itself, among the purest and most truthful created in any age. This Burns collection, introduced and arranged by novelist and essayist Andrew O'Hagan, is made for the pleasure of reading and brings Burns' work to the fore in all its full, riotous, colourful life.
