The Child "Cannon"

Below is a list of all the ballads as listed in the Contents for Francis James Child's The English and Scottish Popular Ballads (1882-1898)CPB  (Vol 1). In addition, for some of the ballads, I have added the titles for any variant versions that Child has classified as belonging with the main entry.

This was mainly for my benefit in creating the site. To the uninitiated, it is not obvious that "Scarborough Fair" belongs under the heading "The Elfin Knight" (Child #2). Or that "The Outlandish Knight", "False Sir John" or "May Colvin" belong to "Lady Isabel and the Elf-Knight" (Child #4).

This work is ongoing, so is not yet complete.
