GUEST Origins: Fairy Ballad Book by Coleridge, maybe (13) Origins: Fairy Ballad Book by Coleridge, maybe 29 May 18


Does anybody know anything about this book, the Fairy Ballad Book. It is said to be by the "author of Endymion's Dream" which would be Samuel Taylor Coleridge but it seems not to have been published until 1891 and he died in 1834. It is a set of ballads, or poems in ballad style, based on stories from the Brothers Grimm. I was especially interested in the Six Swans, starts on page 4.

Here is a link to the text
