Delightful reading of lovely selection of poems.
This was a treat to listen to these selections of poems and most were new to me. It was a lovely way to relax for an hour listening to the Scottish poems read by Scottish actors which makes the experience feel authentic.
And an hour makes this a quick easy read while multitasking or on the couch with your eyes closed.
The only thing that would've made this audiobook perfect is to have the poem titles instead of Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. That way if you're looking for a specific poem, you can find it. I totally recommend this audiobook.

Nice collection
Very nice collection of poems and it was great to listening to the poems read in a Scottish accent, though it was a little hard at times to understand what was being said.
