His ‘tam O’ Shanter’, With Its Midnight Pursuit Of Witches From A Grisly Graveyard Dance, Is Gripping, Fantastical And Funny In Equal Measure, ‘is There For Honest Poverty’ Beautifully Expresses The Egalitarian Spirit By Which Burns Became A Political Hero For So Many, And Sentiments Both Romantic (‘ae Fond Kiss’) And Bawdy (‘the Fornicator’) Co-exist In This Canny Selection Of The Best Of The Scottish Bard.
