Ballades of Old France, Alsace, and Old Holland is a collection of poems by Frank Horridge, originally published in 1919. The book contains ballads that are inspired by the rich cultural history of France, Alsace, and Holland. These ballads are written in the traditional style of medieval French poetry, with a focus on storytelling and romance. The book is divided into three sections, each dedicated to a specific region. The first section explores the history and culture of Old France, with poems that describe the chivalric ideals of knights, the beauty of the French countryside, and the romance of French courtly love. The second section focuses on Alsace, a region that has been influenced by both French and German cultures. The ballads in this section explore the unique history and customs of Alsace, including its folk traditions, its architecture, and its role in the Franco-Prussian War. The final section of the book is dedicated to Old Holland, a region that has a rich cultural heritage and a long history of trade and commerce. The ballads in this section explore the beauty of Dutch landscapes, the history of Dutch art and architecture, and the unique customs and traditions of the Dutch people. Overall, Ballades of Old France, Alsace, and Old Holland is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of three distinct regions of Europe. The poems in this book are beautifully written and provide a glimpse into the history, traditions, and beauty of each region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
