Peter Timmerman	Folklore: Auctioning Off Wives (15)	Query: Auctioning off Wives	28 May 97
The thread about "The Hiring Fair" raised a question in my mind. Are there any folk songs about auctioning off wives at fairs, a practice that if my mind doesn't fail me was described in Hardy's 19th century novel, "The Mayor of Casterbridge"? Just curious. Yours, Peter
