Robert Burns - Nature

This book looks at 12 works written by Robert Burns which were inspired by Nature. A number of these works were written in 1787 during Robert's 'Grand Tour' of the highlands, others were written a little closer to home...
We look at the works themselves, give a modern translation of each one and look at when, where and possibly, why they were written. This gives you quick, easy to understand information about Burns poetry and also about the man himself.
One of the biggest problems with reading Burns poetry is the language he used, specifically the scots words and dialects, which can be difficult to understand. To help with this there is a full modern English translation of each poem directly after the original poem. There is also an extensive glossary of scots words and their modern English equivalent included. This is the second book in the "Enjoying Robert Burns" series.
