Proverbs in the Patter

Money, power, marriage, friendship, health, sleep, jealousy, war, peace, eternity: the ancient wisdom of Solomon in the 21st-century language of the Scottish patter. Full-to-the-brim of pithy wisdom, this expressive book will appeal to all who enjoy the richness of the Scots tongue. Injecting life into these ancient wise words, Jamie Stuart's language of the people connects the down-to-earth Scots character with the practical relevance today of the wisdom of Solomon.
