"English and Scottish Ballads, Volume IV" by Francis James Child is a classic collection of narrative ballads written in the mid-19th century. This volume continues the anthology of traditional ballads from England and Scotland, capturing tales of love, adventure, and heroism that have been passed down through generations. The book includes various tales such as "Young Beichan and Susie Pye," highlighting the themes of romance and loyalty in the face of adversity. The opening of this collection presents transcriber notes explaining the preservation of archaic spellings and formatting choices that echo the original manuscripts. It begins with a detailed contents page listing ballads and their page numbers, showcasing the diverse range of stories featured within the volume. Notably, it introduces "Young Beichan and Susie Pye," a tale of love and sacrifice, where Beichan, trapped in a dungeon, is saved by Susie Pye, the daughter of the Moor who imprisoned him. Their vow to remain true to one another, set against a backdrop of trials and tribulations, sets the stage for a captivating exploration of enduring love in folklore.
