The Farmer Collection has four short stories that draw their insp- iration from some of Robert Burns most famous poems. This book is set up with larger font and line spacing to suit children who are, "new" readers. But this shouldn't be a barrier to any others also enjoying the book.
A second section of the book contains the original
Robert Burns Poems that inspired the stories.
These include, To a Louse, To a Mouse,
The Death and Dying words of Poor Mailie and
The Auld Farmer's New Year Salutation to his Auld Mare Maggie.
To aid in understanding some old Scottish words a line by line interpretation is shown in italics. This will enable the new reader along with mature family members the opportunity to explore the connection between the stories and the poems.
