Hi Steve,

I changed the letters, rather than have 2 J's. This was done by Child when the same mistake was made.

I've added Hares on the Mountain as an Appendix to The Twa Magicians. I'm having trouble finding US versions aside from 'Roll Your Leg over." Anyone know any US versions and have text?

I've finished roughing in Child No. 45 King John and the Bishop: http://bluegrassmessengers.com/45-king-john-and-the-bishop.aspx

Why isn't the oldest text c. 1550 entitled, A Tale of Henry III and the Archbishop of Canterbury (A Tale of King John and the Archbishop of Canterbury) from the library of Corpus Christi College, Oxford- MS. 255 mentioned in ballad index and on-line?

I've included it here: http://bluegrassmessengers.com/a-tale-of-henry-iii-and-the-archbishop-c1550.aspx

I have several US versions- am I missing any? Anyone have more?

1) The Bishop of Canterbury- Hubbard (Utah) c.1875

2) The Bishop of Old Canterbury- Hall (CT) 1907

3) King John and the Bishop- M. E. E. (R.I.) 1907

4) King John and the Bishop- Vaughan (MI) 1937

5) The Bishop of Canterbury- Ford (CA) 1938

6) The King's Three Questions- MacNelly (Maine) 1940
