Reviews for Shanties from the Seven Seas: Shipboard Work-Songs and Some Songs Used as Work-Songs from the Great Days of Sail

""". . . this splendid tome, expertly illustrated by the author, is one of the most comprehensive and authoritative of the many collections of sailors' songs published over the past nine decades. In sheer volume alone it is certainly the most monumental, providing a consistently fascinating text and a lifetime's worth of material for the amateur or professional folksinger, maritime historian, folklorist, or literary critic."" --Stuart M. Frank, The Log of Mystic Seaport ""It is one of the most interesting and delightful books one could possibly get ahold of. It is always a pleasure to be able to recommend a book without reserve. This I can do!"" --Patrick Dickinson, The Observer"
