Customer Reviews

good little book

The Dover Thrift edition of this book is a pretty good value. You get a handful of the great ballads Child gathered--like "Sir Patrick Spens", "The Unquiet Grave", "Lady Isabel ad the Elf-Knight", and "Bonny Barbara Allan"--without spending the fortune you would on the complete collection. It's a good introduction to the ballad, and these are some of the best written of the ancient British ballads.
