Thomas Clark is a writer, poet and translator working mainly in the Scots language. His most recent and award winning book being a Scots translation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, in ‘Fower Legs Guid, Twa Legs Better!’

It offers a fascinating journey through Orwell, Scots, and the language we use today asking if words still matter, if politicians can be trusted and if Scots still has a place in the modern world.
