Robert Burns holds cult status in Scotland, where he is widely celebrated as the national poet, but his influence extends far beyond Scottish borders. Every 25th January his songs are chanted by Burns Night revellers the world over; his poems are taught to Russian schoolchildren, while ‘Auld Lang Syne’ once formed the basis of the Korean national anthem.

This Folio edition includes many of Burns’s best-loved works, from ‘To a Louse’ and ‘A Man’s a Man for a’ That’, to ‘Tam o’ Shanter’ and ‘A Red, Red Rose’, alongside lesser-known poems and songs.
