By NORMAN GALE. c h e a p e r ^ e d i t i o n , ‘ ‘ It is not surprising that a third edition of this little book of songs should have been required by the public. Mr. Gale is both a poet and a cricketer. ‘ Cricket Songs ’ are written in free, easy measures, and all of them tinged with enthusiasm, and some of them genuinely funny .” —Newcastle Daily Chronicle . “ In these pieces, which everybody, man and boy, should get by heart, there is always that quality of expressive music which we find in Mr. Norman Gale’s more serious work—in the imperishable, sweet songs of 1A Country Muse.’ ” —The Referee.
