Note 151 — 158 HUGH SPENCER’S FEATS IN FRANCE

Reading edition

In the London Athenæum, about twenty-five years ago, there was (I think) a story of an Englishman in Russia resembling Hugh Spencer’s. I have wrongly noted the number as 1871, and have not recovered the story after much rummaging. This ballad is not very unlike Russian bylinas.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
