Description

Unique, comic, Caledonian version of Aristophanes "Birds" as performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1959. The translator was an ardent Scottish nationalist, as well as a classical scholar, and has added a handy glossary and explanatory notes for any visiting Sassenachs ignorant of either the riches of the Scots dialect, or of the ornithology of Scotland.84p.Original paper covers loosening.
