Publisher's Summary

After a wild night-oot up at Kirk Alloway, Tam O' Shanter has got some explaining to do. How does Kate take the news of his hell-raising ceilidh with the witches? Why is the family cuddie wrapped around a lamppost? Does Tam get his tea, or has he had his chips?

Read and recited at Burns Suppers all over the world, Kate o Shanter's Tale is a classic of modern Scots poetry. Complemented by more rants and whigmaleeries by Scots writer Matthew Fitt, this vibrant first collection engages as much as it entertains.

Seamless Modern, Urban and Literary Scots together

Matthew Fitt reads his own collection, Kate o Shanter's Tale and Other Poems, in a lively tour-de-force performance as an audiobook. This is accessible, modern Scots poetry that makes ample and playful use of traditional, literary Scots and the modern, urban idiom. This is a bold contribution to the Scots language and a highly entertaining reading that brings the written word to life for the reader and listener alike.
