Description

Story-Telling Ballads - Selected and Arranged for Story-Telling and Reading Aloud and for the Boys' and Girls' Own Reading

They offer a feast of good thingsromances, hero-tales, Farie legends, and adventures of Knights and lovely Damsels. They sing of proud and wicked folk, of gentle and loyal ones, of Laidley Worms, Witches, Mermaids with golden combs, sad maidens, glad ones and fearless lovers, moss-troopers, border-rievers, and Kings in disguise. All their doings are related in the stirring, leaping, joyousor at times martial and mournful-ballad measure. The ancient ballads are here presented exactly as when in days of old they were sung by minstrels and recited by gaffers and gammers. No alterations are made in the texts of the ballad-collectors and collators, except the changing of a few objectionable words. Two or three of the less well-known ballads are done into modern spelling. A number, not hitherto found in childrens collections, will be delightfully new to young people. Some popular ballads, like King John and the Abbot of Canterbury, and The King and the[viii] Miller of Mansfield, are omitted because they are in Story-Telling Poems. Since great care has been taken to choose authoritative texts (see Acknowledgments, page xv and Suggestions for Teachers, page 363), the teacher will find this collection helpful when instructing classes in early English literature or in ballad structure and measure. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
