McClelland and Stewart, 1983. Hardcover with dust jacket of Songs and Sayings of an Ulster Childhood by Alice Kane, edited by Edith Fowke.

"More than a simple collection of songs and sayings, this book is a beautifully written narrative incorporating an astonishing wealth of folklore: ballads, folk songs, music-hall and pantomime songs, sea shanties, hymns, nursery rhymes, children's games, riddles, poems, parodies, proverbs, and jokes."

Ulster is one of the four traditional or historic Irish provinces. It is made up of nine counties: six of these constitute Northern Ireland (a part of the United Kingdom); the remaining three are in the Republic of Ireland.

Good condition. Light spotting to the top of the page block. 2-inch closed tear to the dust jacket back cover at the flap's crease, and pushing to the top of the dust jacket spine. Interior pages clean and crisp. A solid book with shelf wear.
