A small format hardcover, with a very attractive cover , lacks presumed(?) original dustjacket, published by William Blackwood (this being the 12th impression/ reprint) so obviously a popular title , 1906.
These are not folk 'songs', but verse poems ( in the manner of Percy French might be the best analogy) , inspired by and deeply rooted in Antrim.
With the (attractive) armorial style bookpalte of previous owner pasted to inside front cover, gift inscription to same owner dated 1906 on endpage.
