Jack Campin	Twisted roots of John Barleycorn... (9)	RE: Twisted roots of John Barleycorn...	07 Oct 20
A few years ago I came across a prose version of the same story from the Renaissance (in an anthology of letters about art) but about murdering grapes to make wine. I wonder if that was part of a parallel song tradition? For that matter the same theme could work for any of the plants that people ferment into alcohol around the world.
