Poppy gives popular talks on the subject of Border Ballads, and members of the audience often ask for a book to take home with them, detailing the history, tunes and stories. So, here you are!

Border Ballads from Ettrick & Yarrow brings us moving stories and songs located around St Mary’s Loch, surely one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Thomas the Rhymer concerns the 13th century seer and adventurer, Thomas of Erceldoune, and his experiences with the beautiful and generous Queen of Elfland.

Unquiet Graves deals with those who cannot rest in their graves till they have made one last contact with their loved ones.

These fine-press souvenir books are now available via Amazon.co.uk, hand sewn, with beautiful illustrations by Chris Daunt, President of the Society of Wood Engravers.
