Hustvedt. 'Ballad Books and Ballad Men' essential reading for all to do with Child.
Chapter 1 should be a good comparison with Cole. 2. Scott 3. Scott's ballad clan. 4. English baldly stuff 5. 70 years of British Varia 6 The Scandinavians 7.Grundtvig 8. Child Appendix A The Grundtvig-Child Correspondence. Very enlightening. essential. Appendix B, a useful listing of all Child Ballads and their published variants+sources.
