Book Description
Excerpt from Some Old French and English Ballads The Ballad Poetry of a country is its most characteristic and its most enduring contribution to the romantic movement. Literary Romanticism has now swayed all currents of thought, again been banished in favour of classicism and formality, and once again triumphed, but through it all the love, the wonder, the terror, the imaginative spirit of these songs have been the unfailing refuge of the many from the narrowness of life, the inexhaustible source from which literature has at each renaissance drawn renewed strength and vigour. The little selection of some score of French and English Ballads now printed is perhaps the more representative of the popular poetry of the two countries, because it is not wholly anonymous or wholly popular. A poem, a folk-tale is not truly representative of its country until it can pass freely from cottage to palace, welcome alike and claiming kinship in either. The song which takes its rise among the people must be resung by the poet before it has lost its dross, the poet's composition must be censored by the million before it appeals to that universal element to which all great work is addressed. Simplicity, nobility, and the fortunate chance which says the unexpected right thing - all these must come together.

Book Description
At the collège for a parent-teacher interview, I met my daughteroutside in the courtyard and she showed me up to herclassroom. Her teacher was busy chatting, so we waitedpatiently in the corridor. When he did come out, he indicatedthat the meeting would take place downstairs and headed offwith us in tow. Before sitting down, I introduced myself using my first name,and put out my hand to be shaken. He mumbled back his fullname as he took my hand, although I suspect he would havebeen shocked if I had actually dared use it. By this stage, I hadalready understood that teachers did not expect to bequestioned about their practices. Of course, I did--questionhim, that is; politely and almost deferentially. There was aslight pause, as he dipped his head to better digest what he hadheard. Then, with the assurance of a perfect, unarguableanswer, he replied, "But you are in France, Madame". Some months before, my husband, three children and I hadcasually unzipped and discarded our comfortable Australianlifestyle and slipped on life in the country of haute couture. Onarrival, there was no celebrity designer waiting for us, ready topin and fit our new life to us; so we threw it on and wore itloosely, tightly, uncomfortably, any old how--until we learnedfor ourselves how to trim, hem and stitch à la française. Thisbook is testament to the joyous, but not always easy, journeythat we took along the way.
