What is a famous ballad?
“The Ballad of Reading Gaol” by Oscar Wilde You can even listen to this one at Project Gutenberg, http://www.gutenberg.org Look for the little ‘speaker’ icon next to the many versions here of this… It’s a very fine ballad, short; full of black humor and innuendo, yet easy enough. Wilde wrote while in Reading Gaol. “Sir Gawain and The Green Knight” by anonymous There’s a good movie of this, with Michael O’Keefe [sp] and Sean Connery, from 1984. Easy to find at a Blockbuster or similar place: call ahead. Fun story, actually. Movie title begins ‘Sword of the Valiant: Sir Gawain….’ etc.
