Each copy comes with a booklet of
Robert Burns' poem in the original Scots alongside a
(brilliant) translation of it into English verse by poet Jim Smith:
Robert Burns' epic poem Tam O'Shanter is re-told in a wordless
paper-cut leporello, which follows the misadventures of a farmer on his
way home from the pub and a chance encounter with a coven of witches and
warlocks on the way home...
Although the lasercut area of this version has the exact
same dimensions as the non-editioned version created in November 2021, this
version has been instead bound with cloth-bound hardback covers. Each copy comes inside of a
protective display box and with a certificate of authenticity.
I'm really pleased with the way that this book has come out and I'm especially happy that Jim Smith allowed me to use his English translation of Tam O' Shanter - it was my favourite translation of the poem.
If you or anyone else would be interested in purchasing one, then copies will be available in my online shop from 5pm on Sunday 17th July 2022 at https://joannarobsonillustration.bigcartel.com/
