by Steve Roud - £9.99  Penguin Books Ltd (Penguin Classics) (2014)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780141194622 | ISBN 10: 0141194626

The definitive collection of folk music - one of the great English popular art forms.
 
One of the great English popular art forms, the folk song can be painful, satirical, erotic, dramatic, rueful or funny. This magical new collection brings together all the classic folk songs as well as many lesser-known discoveries, complete with music and annotations on their original sources and meaning. Published in cooperation with the English Folk Dance and Song Society, it is a worthy successor to Ralph Vaughan Williams and A. L. Lloyd's original Penguin Book of English Folk Songs.
