Robert Burns Cronies, Colleagues and Contemporaries by James L. Hempstead.

250 pages full colour

A Burns product from Masonic Publications Ltd.

This book is full of pictures and in full colour throughout with each section a different colour. There may not be much new that can be said about the Poet but the same cannot be said about his friends and associates. Never before have they been dealt with so comprehensively as in this new book. Here you can find out how they influenced and encouraged Burns in his development as a poet. James L Hempstead is one of the foremost authorities on Robert Burns in Scotland today and was created an Honorary President of the Robert Burns World Federation in 1994 in recognition of his immense contribution to Burns literature. There has not been a book on the market so full of excellent content and so beautifully produced for a long time. What better Christmas present could you get, particularly in this year of Homecoming?
