Book Description
Like that Biblical, astronomical star of Bethlehem, The Christmas Carol Reader guides readers on their quest for information about Christmas songs. Studwell gathers a composite picture of the world's most important and famous carols and includes an ample selection of lesser-known Christmas songs. All of the carols are presented in their historical and cultural contexts which adds to readers’understanding and appreciation of the songs. As the only book that covers this elusive topic, The Christmas Carol Reader informs and entertains readers on over 200 songs of all types (sacred and secular), of all periods (Middle Ages through the 20th century), and from a number of countries and cultures. Because many of the songs in The Christmas Carol Reader fit into more than one distinct category, Studwell wisely divides the songs into two major groups--those that reflect Christmas as a Holy Day and those that celebrate Christmas as a Holiday. Here is just a sample of the breadth of coverage of songs: Sacred: From Heaven Above to Earth I Come; O Come, O Come Emmanuel; Angels From the Realms of Glory; As With Gladness Men of Old; O Holy Night (Cantique de Noël); Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne Secular: Happy Holiday; A Holly Jolly Christmas; God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen; Silver Bells; Here Comes Santa Claus; I'll Be Home for Christmas Medieval: Puer Natus in Bethlehem (A Boy Is Born in Bethlehem); Coventry Carol; I Sing of a Maiden; La marche des rois (The March of the Kings); In Dulci Jubilo 1500--1700's: Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella; I Saw Three Ships; Carol of the Bagpipers 1800's: Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful); O Little Town of Bethlehem; What Child Is This?; It Came Upon a Midnight Clear; Stille Nacht, Heiliege Nacht (Silent Night) Spirituals: Go Tell It on the Mountain; I Wonder as I Wander; Mary Had a Baby; Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow Little Known: O Bethlehem!; The Sleep of the Infant Jesus; Song of the Nuns of Chester Countries and Cultures: O Tannenbaum; Lulajze Jezuniu (Polish Lullaby); Fum, Fum, Fum; Carol of the Bells; Patapan; El rorro (The Babe) As readers learn about the history and nature of the Christmas carol in general and the specific history of individual religious and secular carols, they will learn some history and nature of the holiday season which can bring more enjoyment into their celebrations for years to come. On long winter nights, The Christmas Carol Reader can be read continuously as a series of fact-based commentaries on Christmas music. For shorter periods in between holiday activities, readers can peruse one of the topical sections or select, with the aid of the title index, an individual essay of interest. As a library reference, this book can provide facts for research on Christmas songs or just provide an entertaining education for curious library patrons.

Book Description
When Godfrey invited readers of his "Sunday Times" column to suggest their favourite pieces on Christmas, the response was so overwhelming that he decided to collect them together with some of his own favourites - resulting in this eclectic anthology of verse and prose, short stories, reminiscences and diary entries, ranging from Coward to Shakespeare, from the traditional to the subversive, the whimsical to the sinister, the ironic to the tragic and illustrated with an equally varied selection of drawings from many periods.

Book Description
Christmas is such an amalgamation of highs and lows, joys, hopes, and, sometimes even fears. Charles Dickens shares the depths and the heights of the human spirit, Clement Moore shares the wonder and magic of the mystical, and yet wearing the Crown for the day - for Eternity, is the Christ Child, born in that lowly manger to change and save the hearts of humanity. It has been my pleasure to dig and sift through manuscripts for the bits and pieces I have compiled and curated into this Vintage Christmas Reader. Some of the authors and a few of the stories and songs you will recognize, but many you won't. My hope is you will experience laughter and joy, contemplation and hope as you read through the items I have curated for your reading pleasure. The stories are short enough to read with your family, and the colorful tidbits layered throughout will remind you of other times and seasons that have long since passed.
