This specially commissioned recording offers a wide-ranging choice of Burns's songs and lyrical poems; and longer poems such as 'Tam o'Shanter', and 'The Cotter's Saturday Night' are also included in their entirety.

Although a Scot, I had never bothered with Burns until now. I would recommend this audio book if only for the delivery. Excellent I cannot say more.

Must admit some of the terms used in his poems are not familiar to me but the delivery by John Cairney makes this quite superb! Two of my fav poems included so very happy. Highly recommended.

Superb narrative!

I doubt there is anyone today who could do justice to the works of Robert Burns as Cairney does. If you only listen to one set of performances of Burns poems, this should be it.

Outstanding.
