Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Christmas Carols of the Southern Counties Our English gypsies, or as they prefer to be called, travellers, are at last becoming recognised as the best and in some instances the only transmitters of our country's folk music. In the same way that they have kept alive and cherished through the mist of passing centuries the legend, the folk-tale, the dance, and the ballad, so also they have saved from total extinction the carol, which was rapidly dying out amongst our rural population.
