Goethe, who saw so many things with such clearness of vision, brought out the charm of the popular ballad for readers of a later day in his remark that the value of these songs of the people is to be found in the fact that their motives are drawn directly from nature; and he added, that in the art of saying things compactly, uneducated men have greater skill than those who are educated. It is certainly true that no kind of verse is so completely out of the atmosphere of modern writing as the popular ballad. No other form of verse has, therefore, in so great a degree, the charm of freshness. In material, treatment, and spirit, these bat lads are set in sharp contrast with the poetry of the hour. They deal with historical events or incidents, with local traditions, with personal adventure or achievement.

George Wharton Edwards (1859ù1950) was an American impressionist painter and illustrator and author of several books of travel and historical subjects. His books often included his own illustrations. Ballads deal with historical events or incidents, with local traditions, with personal adventure or achievement. They are objective unlike poetry of the period. Ballads are often found in the remote villages where they are sung and passed down through the generations. Ballads in this collection include Chevy Chace, King Cophetua and the Beggar-Maid, King Leir and his Three Daughters, Fair Rosamond, Phillida and Corydon, Fair Margaret and Sweet William, Annan Water, The Bailiff's Daughter of Islington, Barbara Allen's Cruelty, The Douglas Tragedy, Young Waters, Flodden Field, Helen of Kirkconnell, Robin Hood and Allen-a-Dale, Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne, Robin Hood's Death and Burial, The Twa Corbies, Waly, Waly, Love be Bonny, The Nut-brown Maid, The Fause Lover, The Mermaid, The Battle of Otterburn, The Lament of the Border Widow, The Banks o' Yarrow, Hugh of Lincoln, and Sir Patrick Spens.

This collection of ballads contains some of the best known English folk lyrics. With over 50 illustrations. It should be noted that 'Old English' in this case doesn't mean 'Anglo-Saxon'; strictly speaking these are written in late Middle or early Modern English. This makes them accessible, even enjoyable, for a modern audience. Many of these are from the Scottish border, and deal with clashes between the English and Scots in historical times. Others are set in an idealized 'Old England', including three ballads of Robin Hood.
