Summary: "The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Volume 3" by Francis James Child is a collection of traditional ballads edited in the late 19th century. This volume includes a selection of ballads from England and Scotland, focusing on popular tales of adventure, heroism, and folklore. The collection showcases works like "Johnie Cock" and "Adam Bell, Clim of the Clough, and William of Cloudesly," highlighting the rich oral traditions and narrative styles of these regions. At the start of this volume, the opening portion includes introductory materials such as advertisements and acknowledgments from the editor, alongside a list of contents featuring a range of ballads. The first ballad, "Johnie Cock," introduces the titular character, who embarks on a hunting expedition despite his mother’s pleas for him to stay home. The narrative unfolds with Johnie hunting a deer, falling asleep after feasting, and ultimately facing a confrontation with foresters. This initial ballad sets the stage for the themes of valor and conflict that resonate throughout the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
