N2  - "Ballads of Mystery and Miracle and Fyttes of Mirth" by Frank Sidgwick is a collection of traditional ballads likely compiled in the late 19th century. This anthology focuses on themes of the supernatural, folklore, and human emotion, exploring narratives that range from love and transformation to the supernatural and miraculous events.   The opening of this collection outlines its structure and themes, emphasizing that the ballads are roughly categorized into sections related to superstition, sacred origins, repartee, and merry tales. The introduction highlights the significance of Scottish contributions to these narratives, indicating a rich cultural heritage. The initial ballads, such as "Thomas Rymer," recount stories of love, fate, and encounters with the fantastical, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of human experience through these lyrical tales.
