The Ultimate Burns Supper Book

Robert Burns is Scotland's second greatest gift to civilisation (after whisky) and his poetry is rightly celebrated across the globe. The odds are you'll be invited to a Supper at some point in your life (probably in late January) and you may even want to host a Supper of your own. Whatever the case, this book will provide you with all the information you need to make sure your Burns Supper is a great event enjoyed by all.

This book contains: a complete run through of what to expect on the night, with a list of courses and speeches; advice on what to wear; a section on how to prepare and present speeches; a list of common Burns Supper questions (and their answers!); a selection of Burns' greatest poems, including a full English verse translation of the "Address to a Haggis"; and, answers to your worries about eating haggis and drinking whisky. Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware, That jaups in luggies; But if ye wish her gratfu' prayer, Gie her a Haggis! 'Address to a Haggis' Robert Burns.
