Introducing Mr. B.: The Battle Collection
Introducing Mr. B. --- The Battle Collection This is the third of the books in the Mr. B. series. It is setup both in content and format to suit competent readers. Similarly to the first two books there are four short stories which were inspired by Robert Burns poems. The stories are; This Lion Roars -- Simone and Astrid find out about Scotland's battles to retain independence. Devils and Witches -- Davy plays a video game where the hero Tam has to escape from witches. Two Mountain Bikers -- Two boys race their mountain bikes and when they take a rest they compare the differences in their homes. William Loves Nancy -- Home from his tour of duty in Afghanistan, William wonders if his true love Nancy will still be waiting for him. The stories will challenge the reader and tempt them to explore the connection and differences from the Burns poems that inspired them. The back of the book contains the original Robert Burns poems. To eliminate the problem of reading and understanding some old Scots words we have included a line by line interpretation of the poems. This might lead the reader to want to find out more about Robert Burns and if they have not read the second book of the Mr. B. series this would be a good place to start.
