This picture book from John Feierabend brings the song "Jennie Jenkins" to life
through lively illustrations by Ashely Maurer. In his Folk Song USA (1947),
Alan Lomax wrote, "'Jennie Jenkins' is among the
most sprightly of the old dialogue songs which were sung at social gatherings such
as apple-peelings, quilting bees, and church socials. On these occasions much
entertainment was provided as the young folks teased each other through the
medium of answer-back verses, some of which, depending upon the song, had to
be improvised on the spot."Book, 32 pages.
