Description: "Hans Breitmann's Party with Other Ballads" ("New and Enlarged Edition") together with "Hans Breitmann About Town and Other New Ballads" ("Second Series of the Breitmann Ballads") - two series in one volume, by Charles G. Leland. Three-quarter leather binding. Charles Godfrey Leland (August 15, 1824 – March 20, 1903) was an American humorist and folklorist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Leland worked in journalism, traveled extensively, and became interested in folklore and folk linguistics, publishing books and articles on American and European languages and folk traditions. Leland worked in a wide variety of trades, achieved recognition as the author of the comic Hans Breitmann’s Ballads. His fame during his lifetime rested chiefly on his comic Hans Breitmann’s Ballads, written in a combination of broken English and German (not to be confused, as it often has been, with Pennsylvania German). In recent times his writings on pagan and Aryan traditions have eclipsed the now largely forgotten Breitmann ballads, influencing the development of Wicca and modern Neo-paganism.
