Tall Book of Christmas
Selected by Dorothy Hall Smith
Illustrated by Gertrude Elliott Espenscheid
(This book contains many familiar Christmas songs, but also features some delightful obscurities. One delight is a song called “The Birds, and Old Czech Carol.” To hear a choral singing of this carol, but not the whole text found in the book, listen to track 16 on Hyperion Record’s album called “The English Hymn, Vol. 4.” The track is called “The Birds ‘From Out of the Wood Did a Cukoo Fly.’” It was a fun discovery for me and I hope you enjoy it, too!)
