Hardcover First Edition (1947) unstated in accordance with Simon & Schuster's customary practice at the time of publication. There is something about the haunting melodies and the simple but inimitable verses of peasants and spinners, of fishermen, sailors and rude soldiery, which has perennial appeal to their descendants and those who have come to share their inheritance. It is almost impossible to glance at the words, music, and splendid color pictures without humming, whistling, or bursting into song. Editor, arranger, and illustrators have all conspired to keep you from paging silently through the Fireside Book of Folk Songs. Each of the 147 songs is arranged and illustrated (there are over 500 color pictures in all) to fill the eyes, the ears, and the heart with pleasure. Every page in the book is a sheer delight of melody and color. Illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen. Book is in fine condition./Dust jacket is very good to fine. ![]() ![]() Pictorial green cloth boards with beige cloth spine. ![]()
