Description

Wandering minstrel Martin Pippin encounters a lovelorn ploughman who begs him to release his beloved by entertaining the six young women sworn to guard her. This Martin Pippin does - telling beautiful tales of heartbreak betrayal and everlasting love. But will the imprisoned Gillian ever be freed?
This delightful collection will be loved by adults and children alike - a perfect introduction to sophisticated fairy tales.
'She is one of the few who can conceive and tell a fairytale . . . Before I had read five pages of Martin Pippin I had forgotten who I was and where I lived. I was transported into a world of sunlight of gay inconsequence of emotional surprise a world of poetry delight and humour. And I lived and took my joy in that rare world until all too soon my reading was done.'
From J. D. Beresford's Foreword to the first American edition of 1922.
