This is a real treasury of the most popular Christmas carols - 101 of them - many with descants. There are classic arrangements by Charles Wood, R. R. Terry and John Stainer, as well as newer settings by Malcolm Archer, Richard Lloyd, Andrew Gant, Colin Mawby, Sarah Watts and others. The Ultimate Carol Book comes in two editions: the first in normal choral size (254x176mm) and the second a handy pocket size (171x114mm), especially useful for carol singing around the streets.
