Thread Name: New Penguin Book of English Folk Song
Subject: RE: New Penguin Book of English Folk Song
I have a fondness for that slim volume - I think it was the first folk song book my father brought home when he decided to get serious about folksinging in his spare time. After he retired he was finally able to spend a lot more time pursuing that interest. And when I emptied his house after his death, the last book to leave the house, missed because it was almost hidden in his bookshelves, was the Penguin Book of English Folk Song. Checked out from the library where he worked all of those years ago and never returned. :-)
