description: #2 of "His Immortal Memory: A Novel of the Life and Loves of Robert Burns" quintet. Combining the pace of a gripping novel with the meticulous detail of historical research, Barke presents us with a fully fleshed picture of Robert Burns as poet and man in all his wilful rebelliousness and impulsive passion. And at the heart of this book are the great loves of Burns's life, Jean Armour and 'Highland Mary' Campbell. Convincingly describing the inspiration for many of Burns's most celebrated lyrics - including 'To a Muse' and 'Holy Willie's Prayer' - The Song in the Green Thorn Tree takes us with Burns as he travels the difficult road to 'glorious fame'.
