Scotland's renowned worst poet, poignantly comical works.
This compilation is a rare gem for enthusiasts of unconventional poetry and those who appreciate a dabble in literary curiosities. William McGonagall's infamy as Scotland's "best worst poet" makes his work compulsively readable. Straddling the line between earnestness and ineptitude, there’s a certain charm in his earnest rhymes and meter. If embracing the odd and imperfect strikes your fancy, McGonagall's verses are a quirky treasure trove to explore.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
