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.

If wonder tales are not abundant in England, other kinds of
folktales thrive: local traditions, historical legends, humorous
anecdotes. Many of the favorite tales which English-speaking
peoples carry with them from childhood come from a long
tradition--stories as familiar to Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Spenser,
and their many contemporaries as they are to us.
