Burns Was Right
Timeless Advice from Scotland’s National Poet
Old words. Still alive.
The book
Robert Burns wrote about love, money, pride, class, friendship, hypocrisy, ambition and regret. Burns Was Right sets 34 of his sharpest lines each on a page of their own, facing an original illustration by JTW.
At the back, short notes trace every line to the poem, song or letter it came from, and the story behind it.
