Cundall, Joseph. A Booke of Christmas Carols, London, 1848

Frontispiece of A Booke of Christmas Carols.

A tradition almost as old as Christmas itself, caroling has warmed the hearts and cheered the spirits of many, and gained especial popularity among those living in England during the Victorian era. In A Booke of Christmas Carols, London writer and editor Joseph Cundall has compiled several endearing carols, coupled with beautiful artwork and lithographs, that capture the imagination of Christmas revelers. From traditional favorites (“Hark the Herald Angels Sing”) to favorite traditions (“A Carol. Bringing in the Boar’s Head.”) this novel provides the full Christmas repertoire for any caroler’s heart-warming needs.
