The Singing Tradition of Child’s Popular Ballads

Not able to invest in the full set? You can still enjoy the fruit of Bronson's labors:

The Singing Tradition of Child's Popular Ballads is a single-volume, abridged edition of Bronson's four volume The Traditional Tunes of the Child Ballads. To create this edition, Bronson selected from the larger work those tunes and texts which had the strongest representation in the oral tradition, excluding those from the original collection which only existed in print. Most of Child's 305 ballads are represented.
