The definitive collection of this great traditional English art form.
Synopsis
One of the great English popular art forms, the folk song can be painful, satirical, erotic, dramatic, rueful or funny. They have thrived when sung on a whim to a handful of friends in a pub. This title brings together all the classic folk songs and many discoveries, complete with music and annotations on their original sources and meaning.
