The Coquet-Dale Fishing Songs is a collection of traditional songs and ballads from the Coquet River valley in Northumberland, England. Compiled and edited by Thomas Doubleday, a renowned naturalist and writer, the book contains lyrics and sheet music for over 30 songs, many of which were sung by local fishermen and their families. The songs cover a variety of themes, including the joys and hardships of fishing, the beauty of the natural world, and the struggles of rural life. Doubleday provides extensive notes on the history and context of each song, as well as biographical information on the singers and composers. The Coquet-Dale Fishing Songs is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the folk music and culture of Northumberland, as well as the history of fishing and rural life in 19th-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
