Celebrating the wonderful variety of songs, shanties, ballads, ditties and anthems that wind through our lives and bring us together, Auld Lang Syne is a timeless collection for all to cherish. Our memories are bursting with half-remembered songs. They stick with us in a way that no other words do. Just the first few notes of a tune can bring a sports stadium full of people to their feet or kindle memories of starlit nights around a campfire, or a bedtime lullaby soothing us to sleep. But so often after those first few lines we're left humming until the chorus comes back in. With this book you need never miss a line again. Inside you'll find: * Beloved songs from across the English-speaking world, including tunes from Australia, America, Canada, Ireland as well as the UK * Lesser-known gems among the firm favourites * Short accompanying text explaining the origins and stories behind the lyrics
