Many thanks to Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, UK, for kindly supplying the images from which this transcription was made "The Fountain of Maribo, and Other Ballads" by George Borrow is a collection of poetic works written in the early 20th century. This book features a series of ballads that draw upon themes of heroism, love, and tragedy, exploring various aspects of human emotion and the complexities of relationships. Borrow's style reflects the rich folklore and literary tradition that characterize revivalist movements of the time. The contents of the collection primarily consist of three ballads: "The Fountain of Maribo," "Ramund," and "Alf of Odderskier." "The Fountain of Maribo" tells a dramatic tale of a queen who, in her desire for power, orchestrates a deadly betrayal involving the Algreve. In "Ramund," the protagonist embarks on a heroic quest, battling giants and ultimately confronting an emperor to prove his valor and win gold. Finally, "Alf of Odderskier" recounts the tragic conflict between two brothers, Helmer Kamp and Angelfyr, who fight for the affection of the Upsal king's daughter, leading to devastating consequences. Through these ballads, Borrow captures the essence of mythic storytelling combined with a deep sense of loss and sacrifice.
