Old Songs

Amy Jeffs

'Old Songs' fuses short stories, histories, lyrics and illustrations in an enthralling reimagining of traditional folk ballads. Historian Amy Jeffs and illustrator Gwen Burns combine forces to create a rich compendium, singing of travel, mystery, magic and the essential urges of humanity. Featuring iterations of fairy tales and sinister descendants of Greek myths and bible stories, as well as a cast of lesser-known characters with names like Tam Lim, Child Wynd and Maisery, 'Old Songs' threads a tapestry of Britain's landscape, history and cultures.
