<p>A treasury of fascinating information on a large variety of subjects. Both small and great things are dealt with. Some of the subjects are more entertaining than useful, while others are more useful than entertaining. Often the footnotes are the most interesting part of a book. The author has not used them, he notes, because, in a sense, this book is composed largely of interesting footnotes. This book is the fruit of curiosity. The author wrote it to satisfy his own curiosity, and hopes that in passing along the results of his studies, he may share with others some of the pleasure and profit of his work.</p>

<p>Here are almost eighty of The Weavers' best songs, with piano arrangement and guitar chords indicated, in a handsome collection to be sung and played and delighted in at home. Drawn from many different countries and backgrounds-indeed from almost anywhere that songs are sung-many of these songs are available in arranged form only in this book. Here is a rich musical treasury, one with a vision of the "dazzling dream of the ages," gathered by The Weavers, who in their intercontinental tours became genuine ambassadors of peace on earth. An introduction tells about the background of The Weavers and how the group reached its phenomenal success on the singing stage and on records.</p>
