Chap-Books and Folk-Lore Tracts (Classic Reprint)
Author: G. L. Gomme
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780428317737
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
Excerpt from Chap-Books and Folk-Lore Tracts These words took complete possession of him, and he returned before it was known that he had run away. In the more modern chap-book Whittington is made to reach Holloway, where it would be less easy to hear Bow bells, and from which place he would have found it more diļ¬icult to return before the cook had risen. As far as I can find there is no allusion to' Holloway or Highgate hill in any early version, and it is evident that this localization is quite modern. Mr. Lysons is certainly wrong when he says'that at Highgate a stone continued to mark the spot for many centuries. It is not known when the stone was first erected there, but it was probably put up when the name of the place was first foisted into the tale. One stone was taken away in 179 5, but others have succeeded it, and now there is a Whittington Stone Tavern; and the situation of Whittington College, which was removed to Highgate in 1808, has helped to favour the supposi tion that Whittington himself was in some way connected with that place. The form of invitation which the bells rung out varies very much in the different versions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Profiles of artists and performers from around the world form the basis of this innovative volume that explores the many ways individuals engage with, carry on, revive, and create tradition.
