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.
