Opis

Originally published in 1977. Travellers' society means that songs that have died out in more settled communities are preserved among them. Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, widely known as two of the founding singers of the British and American folk revival, here display a vast fund of folklore scholarship around songs of British travelling people.
