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.
