The Battle Collection is the third of the books in the Mr. B. series. It is set up in both format and content 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 Robert Burns poems that inspired them.
The back of the books contain the original Burns poems. To eliminate toe problem of reading and understanding some old Scot's words we have included a line by line interpretation of the poems.
