From the Back Cover:
Combining the pace of a gripping novel with the meticulous detail of historical research, Barke presents us with a fully fleshed picture of Robert Burns as poet and man in all his wilful rebelliousness and impulsive passion. And at the heart of this book are the great loves of Burns's life, Jean Armour and 'Highland Mary' Campbell. Convincingly describing the inspiration for many of Burns's most celebrated lyrics - including 'To a Muse' and 'Holy Willie's Prayer' - The Song in the Green Thorn Tree takes us with Burns as he travels the difficult road to 'glorious fame'.
About the Author:
The son of Galloway parents, James Barke moved to Glasgow in his teens, where he worked in the shipyards and actively participated in the local political and cultural life. He had numerous novels published between 1933 and 1939 before he took on the ambitious task of recreating the life of Robert Burns in a series of five novels. A lifetime of arduous research, combined with a novelist's rich talent, ensured that the five volumes have deservedly been best-sellers and attained worldwide success. James Barke died in 1958.
