Notes

A work of urban folklore documenting the living tradition of children’s skipping songs as practiced in Regina, Saskatchewan. Based on fieldwork conducted between 1972 and 1978, Cosbey treats skipping as a distinct folk form, recording performances directly from schoolyard participants rather than from secondary sources. The volume assembles 114 songs together with 57 documented variants.
