This is what Legman had to say about this collection:
PARKER, Shane. Parker Folio Manuscript. 1966-71. (Caption title: "BEWARE! The
owner of this book has V.D.") MS, London, and Colchester, Essex. 190 f., folio.
(Copies: Shane Parker, South Australian Museum, Adelaide; G. Legman: this copy
of 150 f. only, 43 f. being omitted as non-erotic.) Mainly erotic folksongs
collected by Shane PARKER in England until 1966, with additions from Australia,
1969—71. Some of the texts are marked as being revised and conflated for
singing; others with a large cross reminiscent of Bishop Percy's indicate
originals. (Marginal caution, f. 105: "Please Wash Your Hands After Touching
This Book.") This is by far the best field collection encountered in the present
research, except that of Vance RANDOLPH, q.v., and in Australia John MEREDITH;
EDWARDS; and TATE.
