Canadian Folk-Songs Old and New - 1949

"Taken together, these new and old songs throw a wonderful light on the temperament and mentality of the French Canadians, indicating a simplicity and charm which can hardly be duplicated. It was with the object of creating a better understanding of the French-Canadian character among English-speaking peoples that the translator conceived the idea of rendering the French words into singable English verse..." - Canadian Folk-Songs (Old and New) - Selected and Translated by J.
