Frank Kidson was a Leeds based collector and antiquarian who lived from 1855 to 1926. He was a contemporary of Cecil Sharp and a collaborator with Anne Geddes Gilchrist, both influential in the folk music collecting world.

This book of hornpipes, selected from various fiddlers tune books in his possession, was written down by Kidson in an empty music manuscript book which bore the name Huddeswell. It is to be found in the Kidson Collection housed at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow.
