If ever there was a "people's man", it is Tony Capaldi, his verse shows that from first through to last. Poet, actor, historian, Capaldi writes about his passions: people, theatre, language and religion. His writing, both playful and serious, is inspired by and modelled on his hero, Robert Burns. This is Scottish writing, full of rich Scottish characters and vernacular, and travels from Springburn to the fields of Culloden. Tony is a wordsmith. His love of language and natural ability as a linguist compel him to play with words. His expressive language is full of puns, metaphor spoonerism and, of course, rhyme. First and foremost, Tony Capaldi is an entertainer. Have a heart and you will surely be entertained with this book.
