About this Item

This volume has some very minor damage to the top of the back cover, corner creasing and a small loss also to the back cover but is otherwise clean and tight. Pages are clean and bright.There is a bookseller stamp and neat crossing out on the title page where the price was increased to the "cloth bound" price of 7/6. Foreword by J.C. Tregarthen. Contains 10 songs in Cornish including God Save the King, whose time has finally come around again, and multiple songs with English words. "The object of this work is to present to lovers of Cornwall the Songs and Carols of the Cornwall of old days. Of native growth for the most part, these songs are rich in melody, rich in expression, rich in the poetry to which the music is wedded. Their homeliness too, is an appealing charm." This book weighs over 1kg so will attract extra postage costs. Shipping can be combined. All overseas buyers need to contact me to check shipping rates prior to ordering as there is currently no Economy Air option for shipping outside Australia. Extraordinary times.
