Excerpt from Traditional Tales of the English and Scottish Peasantry, Vol. 1 of 2
In former times, and within my own remembrance, old men wandered from house to house, chanting ballads, re citing portions of the old romances, and curious stories of real or fictitious adventure. I have listened to these oral novelists at our farmers' hearths, when they pleased many an audience, and, like the minstrel of 01 won their food and their raiment, of which they were worthy. The stories were varied, according to the taste or talent of the reciter: every year brought a change in the plot or the succession.
