The first collection specifically of the WORDS of well-known carols since John Stainer's (shorter) volume a century ago: as good for street singers (we know the tunes already but need the words - here) as for amateur choirs, churches, homes, the family round the piano or the fire - anywhere. And with the lovely advent carols too, my favourites. A comprehensive reasonably priced compendium from across the centuries, with some funny (looney) ones too. Children and even teachers and parents, will love it.
