Subject: RE: Child's ballads (back in the early days)
The original edition was first published 1892-1898 in a limited edition of 1000 copies - so it was a bit hard to get hold of!!
There have been a number of later versions, the first as far as I know in 1904 (since reprinted in 1976) but by far the most popular of these reproductions was the Dover Edition of 1965 a paperback facsimilie edition.
There is another edition being produced by Llanerch Press.
Sorry this is a bit brief - I can talk for hours on this.
HTH
