It will be a huge event around the world, not least across Canada. And we have the book! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Burns (1759-1796) is part of your life. If you’ve ever given or received a romantic red rose, or talked about a \"do or die\" situation, or if you’ve sung \"Auld Lang Syne,\" you’re included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOthers celebrate this ploughman poet with an eye for \"the lasses\" more directly. Every year, literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians, from coast to coast, go to Burns Suppers in January to celebrate his life. This year —2009 — will be the biggest ever, since it’s a 250th celebration of his birth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCBC TV is joining with the BBC to produce three one-hour programmes on his life, all written and hosted by Andrew O’Hagan, who is now the authority on Burns. This is because this book, published by Canongate in 2008, has already become a classic, bringing Burns to ordinary readers. Because Burns was on the right side of history, against privilege and rank and for everyone getting a fair chance, he is beloved around the world — in Andrew O’Hagan’s words, he is \"the world’s greatest and most loveable poet.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eRobert Burns was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, and by the time of his death, in poverty, he was hailed as Scotland’s national poet.
