Book Reviews of Book of Carols, The Penguin
Book Review: A great companion for the Christmas season
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a helpful introduction to the tradition of Christmas singing. The writer explores 100 favorite carols, revealing their historical background, theological development, and popular use. Anybody who loves Christmas carols will find this to be an interesting volume that reveals the process by which the beloved songs have emerged.
Obviously this was never intended to be a songbook (see other comment). If that's what you want, buy or borrow a hymnal. The value of Bradley's book is in its depth -- and it will instruct, educate, even amuse, as the reader discovers the historical path that these songs have traveled.
