The Kinsley ed. is superb,
By A Customer
This review is from: Burns: Complete Poems and Songs (Paperback)
One of the best and most trusted editions of the complete poems and songs of Robert Burns (1759-1796). Try to get one, if you can. (N.B.: The James Barke edition is also excellent.)

My Favorite Poet,
By Jim "Pine River Sun" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Burns: Complete Poems and Songs (Paperback)
This is a nice collection of Robert Burns poems and songs. It is well done and very complete. There is an interesting chronology and a glossary of old Scottish words. Very well done and a reasonable price. I just received my copy and I am thrilled with it. It's amazing how much Burns wrote in his short lifetime. The rustic beauty of the poems and the sublime rhyme schemes are simply amazing and very moving. I recommend this book for someone who wants an inexpensive collection of Robert Burns.
