From the author of Burns for Every Day of the Year, a sumptuous, illustrated
hardback diary containing an eclectic selection of 52 poems, songs and letters by
Scotland's National Bard, Robert 'Rabbie' Burns.
Robert 'Rabbie' Burns, Scotland's National Bard, wrote over 700 poems and collected
many traditional Scottish folk songs, and you can begin to discover them here.
Rabbie's generosity and humanity are celebrated in the words of his most famous
poem 'Auld Lang Syne', sung in a spirit of friendship as midnight strikes on New Year's
Eve across the world. And, for the international Scottish diaspora, 25 January offers
an annual opportunity for a Burns Supper in exuberant honour of their National Bard.
But Rabbie Burns is not just for New Year or for the 25th of January. Each page of this
unique diary features an extract from a poem or a song, matched to the time of year.
Each choice reflects the seasons, links past and present, and highlights key moments
in the life and times of Robert Burns - a romantic, radical poet of the common man
whose aim was to make the world a better place.
Authentic, democratic, thought-provoking and entertaining, the work of Robert Burns
offers something for everyone. He's been honoured with banknotes, statues and many
a party, but now this handsome diary brings you Rabbie's best-loved classics alongside
equally loved but lesser-known extracts. Rabbie's poetry is sure to enhance your year
with wit, wisdom, love and friendship.
