"A Midsummer Drive Through The Pyrenees"
Edwin Asa Dix
The famous bards, and story-tellers and harpists would not come until noon-time when the business of the fair would have abated, but with the crowd of beggars came ballad-singers, and the tellers of the stories that were called "Go-by-the-Market-Stake," because they were told around the stake in the market place and were very common.
"The King of Ireland's Son"
Padraic Colum

"A Terrible Secret"
May Agnes Fleming
