A filk songbook published in the UK in August 1957 for Loncon. It was a Triode Plus publication. Words and music by Laurence Sandfield, production by Eric Bentcliffe, Vin¢ Clarke, and Terry Jeeves and art by Eddie Jones. This seems to be the first UK filk book.
The idea of the book was to be a collection of folk songs from space. This was before, of course, the word filk had been coined. They were based on existing tunes with new words.
