About This Item

London: Seely Service, 1975. 300 pp, large 8vo (9 1/2" H). Music notation, maps. "(Selects) a number of the better-known (Scottish ballads) and place(s) them in their historical setting. Each ballad is introduced by an account of the events which led to its composition and accompanied by a map of the battle where appropriate. There then follows the words of the ballad and the tune or tunes to which it is sung, arranged by Jimmie Macgregor. To aid the unenlightened Sassenach, those words which are only used north of the border have been translated. It is hoped that in this way the ballads themselves may become more meaningful to more people and that those who live or travel in Scotland will find the book of use when visiting the battlefields which gave birth to so many of the ballads." Note: music notation is not provided for all ballads. Previous owner's small stamp on front pastedown, one minor corner bump. Light wrinkling at bottom of spine, minor soiling on bottom of textblock. Dust jacket has light edge wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine, minor rubbing.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
