Margaret Bennett<\/strong> (Professor, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) received the 2022 Iona and Peter Opie Prize<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This prize, awarded by the Children\u2019s Folklore section<\/a>, is awarded approximately every two years to the author of the best recently published scholarly book on children\u2019s folklore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margaret Bennett is author of\u00a0Dundee Street Songs, Rhymes and Games: The William Montgomerie Collection, 1952<\/em>\u00a0(Grace Note Publications, 2021). William Montgomerie\u2019s significant collection, edited and annotated by Bennett and illustrated by Les McConnell, includes games, rhymes, and songs from the early 1950s. Bennett\u2019s detailed description of William and Norah Montgomerie\u2019s pioneering fieldwork, including their audio recordings, highlights important insight about children at play and folklorists at work. Since a CD of the recordings comes with over-the-counter book sales and the book includes links to recordings online, readers can listen to children excitedly sharing their favorite playground lore. This valuable addition to children\u2019s folklore scholarship is certainly something to celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
