Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Gr 3-5--This account of the life of Robert Burns is written in the first person, as though the bard himself were telling of his trials and triumphs. His story is told in flowing prose, with some of the lyrics to "Auld Lang Syne" interspersed throughout. While the text is clear and generally accurate, it does include a rather romantic explanation of both the poet's father's encounter with a gypsy and Robert's "vision" of the muse, Coila. However, this is in keeping with Burns's own style and, thus, seems fitting to the piece. Words that appear in the glossary are not highlighted in the text. The full-page, realistic paintings vary in quality, but they do amplify the mood of the text. Interior scenes and those showing close-ups of people appear rather amateurish, for facial features often appear disproportionate; landscapes fare much better. An additional purchase for collections in which poetry and introductory biographies are popular.

Excerpt from Publishers Weekly review
"Findon's first-person narrative imagines the thoughts of this 18th-century poet (Robert Burns), who reveals that since 'that famine-faced spectre, Poverty, was a constant visitor in our home,' he had to steal away from his father's fields to write down the poetry that 'burned within me.' More accessible and memorable are Nasmith's lifelike paintings, which include several majestic mountain and sea landscapes. This accomplished artist's feel for the tale has historical roots: Alexander Nasmith, a Scottish portrait painter and Burn's Friend, was Nasmith's ancestor."
