Thread Name: Child Ballads help
Subject: RE: Child Ballads help
There's a lovely new edition of Child in progress--v. 1 and 2 are out and 3 si expected soon. It's produced by Loomis House, and has several editorial innovations: the appendices, rather than being scattered throughout the 5 volumes, follow each individual ballad. The few tunes that Child provided are presented immediately over the appropriate text. And the editors added the tunes that Child's sources had, but that old FJ didn't see fit to include.
The first two volumes are available from CAMSCO: $32 each in hard cover; $23 in soft cover.
