This vintage volume contains a collection of songs, hymens and wassails connected through their shared celebration of ale. Effectively a catalogue of historical English drinking songs, "Carols and Wassail Songs in Praise of Ale" would make for a worthy of inclusion to any bookshelf, and is not to be missed by the discerning collector of vintage books of this ilk. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
