Old Ballads is a collection of traditional English ballads compiled by Frank Sidgwick and originally published in 1908. The book includes 43 ballads, ranging from the well-known Robin Hood and the Monk to lesser-known tales such as The Cruel Brother and The Suffolk Miracle. Each ballad is presented with its original lyrics, accompanied by a brief introduction that provides context and historical background. Sidgwick also includes notes on the various versions of each ballad that have been collected over time. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in traditional English folk music and literature, as well as for scholars studying the history and evolution of ballads. The collection offers a glimpse into the oral tradition of storytelling and provides insight into the themes and motifs that have persisted throughout English literature for centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
