520 _a"The Traditional Games of England, Scotland, and Ireland (Vol 2 of 2)" by Alice Bertha Gomme is a scholarly collection of folk games written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an extensive compilation and analysis of traditional children's games from various regions across the British Isles, including lyrics, tunes, and methods of play along with their variants. The book provides insight into the cultural significance and anthropological context behind these games, portraying them as reflections of social customs and traditions. The opening portion presents detailed transcriber’s notes and informs readers about the layout and structure of both volumes. It then leads into a preface where the author discusses the work's purpose and the collaboration with other folklorists, particularly the late Rev. Dr. Gregor, who aided in the collection of game variants. The text mentions that the second volume completes an important anthology of British traditional games and highlights the importance of these games as cultural artifacts that embody ancient customs and beliefs, setting the stage for a deeper dive into the games themselves later in the text.
