Bell's anthology of English and Scottish traditional songs and ballads preserves oral poetry of remarkable beauty and power. The peasant songs and harvest celebrations alongside the tragic ballads give a wide tonal range. Round-robin ballad reading with voices for narrator and characters works excellently.
