Child Ballads
The Child Ballads are a collection of 305 ballads from England and Scotland, and their American variants, collected by Francis James Child. While the ballads themselves are hundreds of years old, it was only in the later 19th century that Child put them to print.

The Child Ballads deal with subjects typical to many ballads: romance, supernatural experiences, historical events, morality, riddles, murder, and folk heroes (there are an inordinate number about Robin Hood). Some of the ballads are rather bawdy.
