Thread Name: Nic Jones - Analysis of Little Musgrave
Subject: RE: Nic Jones - Analysis of Little Musgrave
It's interesting to compare the different Child texts. In one version (81C) Barnard 'slue himself' at the end; in another (81E) he was 'hanged on the morrow'. Several versions indicate that Lady Barnard was pregnant. Definitely no happy endings, though!

I remember once visiting Musgrave Church. It was so quiet and peaceful - until a sudden noise made me jump out of my skin. It was a bat scrabbling along the floor.

Thanks for that link Diane, I hadn't come across it before.
