A review by book_nut
The Oxford Book of Ballads by James Kinsley

I never intended to finish this one: I was just interested in the ballads of Tam-Lin and Thomas the Rhymer. Which were both very interesting. I did flip through the rest of the book, and attempted to read some of the others (old English is difficult to read!), but I wasn't terribly interested. It did, however, make me curious about hearing some of the ballads sung, though.
