Lloyd Revised by Malcolm Douglas Forword by Martin Carthy First published in 1959 as The Penguin Book of English Folk Songs, this ground-breaking collection reclaimed traditional song from the school and the recital room, and from the 'evening dress' into which it had so often been put during the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on material collected mainly in the early years of that century and originally published in the Journal of The Folk Song Society and its successor the Journal of The English Folk Dance & Song Society, the editors compiled a selection that revealed the vitality and beauty of English folk song in its natural form. The book was enormously influential in the folk song revival and was regularly reprinted over some thirty years. It is reissued in response to popular demand in the centenary of the year in which both Vaughan Williams and Cecil Sharp began their folk song collecting. The notes to the songs have been revised with much new information, and biographical details of the singers from whom the songs were noted have been added. These fine songs are once again readily available to new generations of singers and musicians.
