John Waddell

Halesome Farin': (Wholesome Fare) John Waddell

These poems written in the beautiful, rich and descriptive Scots language are a real 'Clootie Dumplin' mixture of ingredients all held together with the 'cloot' of John Waddell's ability to paint the most wonderful word pictures, such as the wee robin eating his porridge, or the wee laddie picking up his football and going home when he wasn't winning, or the wonderful display of the Giacobinias, October, 1933, witnessed by the poet on his way home from his fiddle lesson. This is a book to share with friends for anniversaries, birthdays, or Christmas. Above all, it is a book to treasure.
