- Summary: Source of "Mr. Fox's Garden"?
-
- Can anyone enlighten me as to the origin or source of the eerie "Little
- Sir Hugh"-type song that is called "Mr. Fox's Garden"?
-
- It's about a girl named Mary who chases her golden ball into Mr. Fox's
- garden, where she is imprisoned as a servant by Mr. Fox, who has one red
- eye. He forbids her to go into a certain room, so of course she does, and
- sees there a sword and her golden ball. The ending is ambiguous; Mr. Fox
- jumps out at her, but the song ends before we find out what happens.
-
- I'd appreciate any information about who wrote this song or where it came
- from.
