, the American folklorist, working for him as editorial assistant on his book
The Folk Songs of North America

Guy Carawan
,

and
John Hasted
.
Sweet England
is a stunning collection of British and American traditional song, capturing a turning moment in the English folk song revival of the 1950s. Including a stunning, new digipak design with new sleevenotes from Shirley Collins.
