Originally published in 1968. The author, a well-known contemporary
and friend of folklorist Katharine M. Briggs, collected a
tremendous store of folk music material over many years and
eventually decided to put some of it on permanent record. This book
comprises a cross-section of rescued melodies dating back to
medieval days and up to the Victorian early ballads. It describes
individual folk singers in Somerset in great detail as personal
accounts and documents their lyrics and their tunes, which are all
together at the end of the volume.
