FOREWORD [by E. G. Retallack Hooper (Talek)]
It is over thirty years since the "Cornish Song Book" (Lyver Canow Kernewek) appeared, edited by Dr. Ralph Dunstan.

INTRODUCTION
We hope this book will be found a "keenly lode", as the Cornish say (a seam full of rich ore), by all who make use of it, whether as solo singers or singer in groups, choirmasters, teacher or readers and students of folk-song, of Celtic music or the Cornish language.
