This vintage book contains a complete guide to country dancing, with
chapters on everything from its history, lore and development; to how
the dances are performed and beyond. Written in simple, plain language
and profusely illustrated, "The Country Dance Book" is ideal for those
with an interest in country dancing and how to do it. Contents include:
"Introduction", "The Calls and Conduct", "The Dance Begins", "Hats off
to France", "Some Contrys", "Thanks to the Irish", "A Gift from the
Scots", "Out of the Doldrums", "Polka-Mania", "Freaks and Furblows", and
"Who's Who, Now and Then". Many vintage books such as this are
increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the
history of the organ.
