Description
[M.A.] study of children's folklore in Birdsedge, based on fieldwork carried out in the playground of Birdsedge First School, between October 1979 and April 1980, and the recollections of parent and grandparent informants.
Six chapters discuss children's rhymes, songs and singing games as a social phenomenon, describe the village of Birdsedge (with accompanying photographs of the area and the school), assess and discuss the material collected (classified under the headings Rhyme and Song, Counting-out, Clapping, Skipping, Line and Ring Games, Team (i.e. competitive) Games, and accompanied by photographs, diagrams and tune transcriptions). The memories of adults in the village are recorded, and some conclusions offered.
