About the Book

The farmer collection is the first of three books, which are an assembly of stories for children inspired by Robert Burns Poems. The Farmer Collection has four stories, Bug Off, The Farmer and the Field Mouse, The Day my Pet Died and The Farmer's Favourite Old Horse. There is no attempt at using rhyme in the stories and they are not constrained by what is in the original poems. They are enjoyable stories with uncomplicated dialogue and are well illustrated. That is the main portion of the book. At the back of the book we have included the original Burns poems. To ease the reading and understanding of some of Burns old Scots words we have put a line by line interpretation of the meaning. We expect that this will be too complicated for a child to read on their own but it will enable reading with a more mature member of the family. It is our hope that exploring these poems in this way will awaken an appreciation of Burns work and lead to a desire to find out more. At least more in the other two books of this series.

About the Author :
I was born in Perth Scotland and schooled in Glasgow. At the age of twenty three I emigrated to Canada, where I have spent my adult life raising a family and working. But absence does make the heart grow fonder. Over the years I have organized Burns suppers for the Rotary Club, attended Burns suppers at the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada and participated in Burns suppers at friends homes. Perhaps Burns is in my genes as my grandfather was the president of the Glasgow Bridgeton Burns Club 1934/35. During many trips to Scotland I have visited the Burns Cottage and the spectacular New Burns Museum at Alloway. Illustrations in the book have been provided by Nicholas Lennox, who was born and raised in Scotland. He works as an animator and illustrator and worked on the Oscar nominated film "L" Illusioniste.
