WILLIAM MCGONAGALL: COLLECTED POEMS

Despite execrable rhymes, terrible scansion, ludicrous subject matter - despite everything, William McGonagall remains one of Scotland's favourite poets. This volume brings together the three famous collections - Poetic Gems, More Poetic Gems and Last Poetic Gems - and includes an introduction by Chris Hunt, webmaster of the McGonagall website mcgonagall-online. It also features indexes of poem titles and first lines, and the first publication of McGonagall’s only play, Jack o’ the Cudgel, written in 1886 but not performed publicly until 2002.
