This selection, made by a distinguished living poet of the Scottish language, Sydney Goodsir Smith, sets out to be representative of the whole range of Burns's Scottish verse-tender, lyrical, caustic or ribald.
The selection of poems, satires and epistles, and of songs has been carefully thought out (Mr Smith is always a diligent craftsman) and the representative "Muses" lend spice to the latter part...Mr Smith's introduction is excellent...' The Times Educational Supplement.
