#8: Erlinton Robin Hood and the Tanner's DaughteR (Child 8C)*
Robin Hood Ballad Project (http://www.ezfolk.com)

*Notes by artist:
I've chosen my own title for this ballad, Child #8C,, as Child merely lumps it in with the variants of "Erlinton".  Yet, there is little similarity between this text and the A or B versions of Erlinton, either in plot or phrasing.  It would thus be more properly catalogued as a separate ballad, with stronger thematic and lyrical links to the Robin Hood canon proper than Child seemed willing to acknowledge.
