A ballad is a poem or a song that tells a popular story and many
traditional British ballads contain fascinating stories - tales of
love and jealousy, murder and mystery, the supernatural and the
historical. This anthology brings together nineteen original
retellings in short story form, written by some of the country's
most accomplished storytellers, singers and wordsmiths. Here you
will find tales of cross-dressing heroines, lusty pirates, vengeful
fairy queens, mobsters and monsters, mermaids and starmen - stories
that dance with the form and flavour of these narrative folk songs
in daring and delightful ways. Richly illustrated, these enchanting
tales will appeal to lovers of folk music, storytelling and
rattling good yarns.
