This vintage book contains a fascinating study on folk-songs from around the world by English author and poet Alfred Owen Williams. For each song Williams has provided the lyrics as well as information pertaining to its origins, history, evolution, popularity, and much more. Highly recommended for those with an interest in traditional folk songs. Alfred Owen Williams (1877 - 1930), also known as The Hammerman Poet, was an English author, poet, and a collector of folk song lyrics. He taught himself to writer and produced his masterpiece, Life in a Railway Factory (1915), in his spare time in between working in the Great Western Railway works in Swindon.
