Deck the hall : the stories of our favourite Christmas carols
Gant, Andrew, 1963-2023
Books
Written with effervescent charm, and professional knowledge, Andrew Gant's 'Deck the Hall' reveals the musical and social history behind each Christmas carol. Twenty seven carols take you from the Annunciation to Epiphany so the Christmas story becomes an underlying narrative linking the stories and anecdotes behind each item. The songs have been chosen to provide a mix of the familiar with the less well-known but interesting, and to cover the main historical and cultural sources, with at least one from key traditions like folk-song, hymns, other countries and so on.
