Ballad Stories of the Affections (1869)

Description

Robert Buchanan (1841-1901) turned Danish and Swedish ballads into English verse in this illustrated collection : tales of love, enchantment and sorrow from the Scandinavian tradition, with wood engravings after the London illustrators of the sixties. The publisher’s period catalogue closes the volume, as bound. Facsimile of the London edition (Alexander Strahan, 1869).This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1869 London (Alexander Strahan) edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
