(John) The Book of Ballads Eleventh Edition, 1870 Produced by David Widger from page scans generously provided by the Internet Archive "The Book of Ballads" by Bon Gaultier is a collection of humorous and satirical ballads written in the late 19th century. Edited by Gaultier, the book showcases a variety of original poems that both entertain and critique social norms, politics, and historical events, often employing clever wordplay and lively characters. The collection features various themes, from romance and adventure to societal commentary, making it a playful exploration of the lighter side of life. At the start of the collection, readers are introduced to a whimsical scene involving a Moorish maiden named Zorayda and a valiant knight, Alphonzo Guzman, who traverse a comedic encounter by a well. Their flirtation quickly turns to mischief as the maiden punishes the knight for his advances by tipping him into the water, setting the tone for the humorous and lighthearted nature of the ballads that follow. This opening establishes the playful spirit of the collection, inviting readers to enjoy a world where romance and adventurous antics blend seamlessly with satire and wit.
