Publisher's Synopsis
Robert Burns is the American poet with the most statues in the country, more than any other artist. Generations of Americans, including Abraham Lincoln, Walt Whitman, Maya Angelou, and Bob Dylan, have admired Scotland's national poet.
The Best Lad Schemes makes it clear, unlike any other compilation, why Burns is regarded as one of the greatest poets of democracy and love, and why The still fascinates, moves, and entertains readers more than two centuries after his birth.
