A collection of favourite songs and poems by Sydney Carter with an introduction by Rabbi Lionel Blue.

An icon of the modern folk movement, Carter, who wrote Lord of the Dance in 1963, lived to see this and others of his songs become popular classics, and a much-loved feature of religious worship of many denominations.
