Reviews:
- Mary Quattlebaum (Children's Literature)
A family favorite when I was growing up was Langstaff's Frog Went A-Courtin'. This 400-year-old Scotch ballad, which garnered a Caldecott for illustrator Feodor Rojankovsky, seems as absurd and appealing as ever, with its swashbuckling frog hero, maidenly mouse, and nuptials in a meadow rich with rollicking friends, including a banjo-playing bee and a jigging flea. 1955, Harcourt Brace, $16.00. Ages 1 to 7. Subjects:
- Folk songs, English--England--Texts.
Folk songs.
Uniform Title:
- Frog he would a-wooing go (Folk song)
