This gorgeous hardcover volume collects the most essential of the immortal poems and songs of Scotland's beloved national bard. AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET.

With the publication of his first book of poems in 1786, Robert Burns—the twenty-seven-year-old son of a farmer—became a national celebrity, hailed as the "Ploughman Poet." When he died ten years later, ten thousand people came to pay their respects at his funeral, and in the two centuries since then he has inspired a cultlike following among Scots and poetry lovers around the world. A pioneer of the Romantic movement, Burns wrote in a light Scots dialect with brio, emotional directness, and wit, drawing on classical and English literary traditions as well as Scottish folklore—and leaving a timeless legacy. All his most famous lyrics and poems are collected here, from "A Red, Red Rose," "To a Mouse," and “To a Louse” to “Tam o'Shanter,” “Holy Willie's Prayer,” and “Auld Lang Syne.”

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
