What the title does not say is that there is no Serbian in the book, except in the short appendix – it is all translated into English.  Pages 17-42 are an introduction, dealing with (amongst other things) the political importance of Serbian folk-songs, the music and the metre.  The remainder consists of translations of songs and tales from Karadzic’s collections.
