Scarborough Faire Canticle - Simon and Garfunkel

This English folk song dates back to late medieval times, when the seaside resort of Scarborough was an important venue for tradesmen from all over England. Founded well over a thousand years ago, Scarborough Faire was a 45 day trading event in medieval times. I used the Book of Hours to tell the story of Scarborough Faire and also the Canticle under it.
