It deals with “highwaymen, poachers, and all manner of miscreants”, and contains several pieces well known to the least experienced of folksong enthusiasts: Brennan on the Moor, The Butcher Boy, Polly Vaughan, Van Diemen's Land. (It is also valuable to students of American folksong, since a number of the pieces crossed the Atlantic to enjoy favour and experience transformation.) Among the twenty performances is Mary Doran's lovely Oxford City; another of those remarkable pub recordings from Blaxhall in Suffolk, Bob Scarce's Newlyn Town; and one of the few accompanied songs in the series, Ethel and John Findlater's The Standing Stones sung to the accordion. I think this is one of the best in the ten-volume collection, but the whole set is of major importance to student, singer and listener.
