Let Us Be Merry is delightful collection of words, musical notation, photographs and captions, evoking the warmth and merriment of Christmases past. 30 traditional Gloucestershire songs are presented here, together with notes about their origin and history. The songs have been collected from traditional singers in the county and from folksong archives and are a fascinating illustration of the folk heritage of the county. This little gem of a book would be of interest both to historians and musicians alike and would be ideal for anyone looking to reinstate the tradition of a sing-song at Christmastime.
