Francis James Child's English and Scottish Popular Ballads, published in ten parts from 1882 to 1898, contained the texts and variants of 305 extant themes written down between the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The present book is an abridged, one-volume edition of that work, setting forth music and text for proven examples of oral tradition, with a new...
