In
the 17th century, Robin Goodfellow was one of the most popular faeries
in literature. Several ballads were in print. Shakespeare said Robin Goodfellow
was one of the many names for Puck, the trickster faerie and sometimes
devil.
Here
are two ballads from the 17th century. When I get a chance, I'd like to add more ballads -- perhaps some about the Pooka, the
Irish Puck.
