Tales And Ballads Of Wearside (1885)

""Tales and Ballads of Wearside"" is a collection of poems and stories compiled by John Green and originally published in 1885. The book is a celebration of the history, culture, and people of Wearside, an area of northeast England that includes the cities of Sunderland and Durham. The tales and ballads in the book are written in a variety of styles, including traditional ballads, humorous anecdotes, and romantic poems. Many of the stories are based on local legends and folklore, while others describe the everyday lives of working-class people in the region. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural history of Wearside in the late 19th century, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the region or in traditional English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
