More than half of HMS Donovan’s tracks are traditional folk songs, hymns, and classic poems for and about children, which Donovan set to original melodies. Many of the poems were from the book, One Hundred Poems for Children compiled by Herbert Strang. Other poems come from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Of Donovan’s original songs, most were newly written, many while staying on the isle of Crete and along other parts of Open Road’s tour. The album was produced by Donovan, save for “Homesickness”, the record’s sole electric rocker, produced by Mickie Most either from sessions in 1968 or 69, as Donovan and Most stopped working together after the Barabajagal sessions.
