About This Item
Mainstream Publishing, Edinburgh, Scotland - 1987 hardcover, 6½" x 9½" (16½cms x 24cms), with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Cairney is now recognised as a legitimate Burns authority, but in this book he doesn't speak in that voice. This is the story not of how he took Burns around the world, but how Burns took him into the homes and hearts of ordinary Scots people, for whom he became for a time Burns himself. It all began with a six weeks run at the 1965 Edinburgh Festival when John Cairney played Scotland's National Bard, Rabby Burns. Cairney's story is as polished, witty and lively as his worldwide performances.
