With its rich mixture of Blethers, Bairns, Bogles, Beasties, Ballads, Battles and Bourachs, A Hantle o Verse draws upon a range of languages and dialects of Scotland, from the Lallans of the south and the Doric of the north-east to the distinctive speech rhythms of Caithness and the northern isles. This is a book enjoyed not just by children, but by all. A companion volume, Anither Hantle o Verse, is also available.
