Martin Pippin is a wandering English minstrel. One April morning while walking in the meadows near Adversane in Sussex, he sees a young fellow named Robin Rue who is sowing oats and crying buckets of tears. When Martin asks Robin what the problem is, Robin says that his love, Gillian, has been imprisoned by her father, farmer Gillman, in an apple orchard with a high wall in a well-house locked with six keys and guarded by six young milkmaids sworn to keep her from coming to him. Martin agrees to help, so over a period of time he tells the maidens, named Joan, Jane, Jessica, Joyce, Jennifer, and Joscelyn, six love stories in an attempt to convince them to give him the keys so that he can unlock the well-house and let Gillian out.

Author Eleanor Farjeon is probably best remembered for her hymn "Morning Has Broken," written in 1931 to an old Gaelic tune associated with the Scottish village of Bunessan, but she was a noted English author of children's stories, plays, poetry, biography, history, and satire. Martin Pippin in the Apple Orchard (1921) actually had its origins in stories from France when Farjeon was inspired to write about a troubadour, but she transposed their setting to England and included descriptions of real villages and features there. Can Martin get the keys from the six girls? Will Gillian ever be reunited with her lover? And what will become of Martin? There are a few references to smoking a pipe and drinking various alcoholic beverages, and the euphemistic “drat” is found. Otherwise, nothing objectionable occurs.

Ostensibly Apple Orchard is a children's book. The six love stories have much the form of Perrault's fairy tales such as Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella. However, they have a depth which is adult in sentiment, and include themes such as the apparent loss of a loved one, betrayal, and the yearning of a woman for whom it appears that love will never come. In fact, they were written not for a child but for a young soldier, Victor Haslam. As a result, younger children may not fully understand and appreciate them. The volume is not an easy read, but those who like slow, intricate, well-developed tales of romance with a touch of fantasy should enjoy it. The sequel, Martin Pippin in the Daisy Field (1937), in which six little girls are entertained by Martin who tells them six stories while they are making daisy chain necklaces, was written for children.

Martin Pippin in the Apple Orchard Dodo Press Children Book From The English Journalist Broadcaster And Author Of Stories And Poems Eleanor Farjeon 9781406516852 Books Reviews

Still love the stories, but no illustration was disappointing
Great book and author, but the publication is terrible. It is about 8.5 by 11, tiny print, very poor spacing, etc. Looks like someone dashed it out on their home printer. Find an older used publication!
Book & shipper (little dickens) perfect.
Includes a story Eleanor Farjeon wrote ostensibly for widow of WWI poet Edward Thomas, but which really is Farjeon's own elegy for the man she herself loved . Nothing like a poet's depth of emotional truth and telling detail.
Lovely book by the author of one of my favorite books (Elsie Piddock). I thought it was a collection of short stories but it is more like 1001 Arabian Nights -- yes there are short stories but there is a greater story woven around them. Has the dreaminess of fairytales but not a children's book.
Delightful book, but the paperback publication is awful. Five stars for the book; zero for the publication. I wish would stop merging comments from different version of the same item. It would be much easier to avoid these exceptionally poor publications.
This book is not readable as the typeface used by this publisher is too small, even with prescription reading glasses on. I showed it to several other people with varying degrees of eyesight (never use reading/ magnifying glasses to those who always use reading glasses) and they all agree that this font/ typeface is ridiculously small. My rating is based solely on THIS PUBLISHED VERSION and is not against the author or the book itself as I haven't read it, because I am unable to read it. This should never have been published as is. How can one possibly get a true sense of font size when buying online? I have not encountered another book with smaller font, but likely one exists.
I remember reading and enjoying this book when I was growing up, although I could not have told you anything about the short stories inside except that I liked Martin Pippin. Reading it again now as an adult was a delightful experience. Eleanor Farjeon was an old-fashioned romantic, clearly, but the woman also had some good insight into human nature. As Gillian (the romantic heroine) tells Martin at the end, "...could you tell my friends so much they did not know and not know this?--girls do not weep for love, they weep for want of it." This is an elegantly written book from an interesting and observant writer. Yes, it's a collection of fairytales, but they are not just surface entertainment, and the characters are intriguing. Martin is still my favorite.
