It is the story, in Will Kemps own words, of his morris dance from London to Norwich in the year 1600. A must for any Ren Faire folks:-) A good read to boot although it is a bit difficult to ge to grips with at times being in old English. Enjoy DtG |

It is an interesting read,I like the description of his dancing with the Country Lasse. I agree, Definitely worth a read by current morris dancers, I don't know what Kemp would make of some us today though. M |

BTW I pointed to an online version of Kemp's book in this thread but the link now seems to have died. :-) |

Of course, Rick Kemp was there - and he also comes from Leigh-On-Sea! Small world. (Or maybe he was related?) |
