An engaging and well researched essay on the history of English folk-drama. Written with a deep knowledge and clear passion for the subject by T. Fairman-Ordish, an esteemed fellow of the English Folklore Society. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
