This bibliography has been compiled with two main intentions in mind. The first is to provide a guide to those seeking enlightenment on what morris dancing is all about: its significance, its history, the various forms that it takes, and works that tell you how to do it (though no book alone can do this). The second is to provide those who already know something of morris dancing with more detailed information about the dances they know and their background, and to widen their knowledge about all the various types of morris.
