About the book

Sir Patrick Spens and Other Ballads presents a selection of traditional narrative songs and poems drawn from the rich ballad tradition of Britain. The title ballad tells the tragic story of a Scottish sailor commanded by his king to undertake a dangerous sea voyage, while other pieces recount love, betrayal, battle, supernatural events and historical legends. Direct and dramatic in style, these ballads preserve some of the oldest and most powerful forms of popular storytelling.
