Book Overview

The Children's Treasury of English Song is a book published in 1877 by Francis Turner Palgrave. It is a collection of traditional English songs, nursery rhymes, and ballads that have been passed down through generations. The book is divided into four parts, each containing a variety of songs that are suitable for children of different ages. Part one includes songs for very young children, such as lullabies and simple nursery rhymes. Part two contains songs for children who are a bit older, including folk songs and ballads. Part three features songs that are more complex and suitable for older children, such as Shakespearean songs and hymns. Finally, part four includes songs for children to sing together, such as rounds and canons. The book is beautifully illustrated with black and white drawings and engravings, and the lyrics to each song are included alongside the music. The Children's Treasury of English Song is a charming and timeless collection that has been enjoyed by generations of children and adults alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
