Reviews for More Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas

[Megan Atkinson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed the research that went into telling the backstory of these songs. Less thrilled with the narration, but doable.

[nicolesch-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book had some interesting stories, and, while out introduced me to some carols I hadn't heard before, it would have been better if, since I was listening to it as an audio book, The songs would have been included so that I could great the ones I wasn't familiar with. I understand that with copyrights to deal with that would not be at all practical, but it would have drastically increased my enjoyment of the book. The stories for the songs I am familiar with were enjoyable, and I'm glad to have learned one or two more Christmas songs, but for the most part, of I wasn't already familiar with the carol I didn't take the time to look it up.
