This collection of 40 folk-tunes is intended for young guitarists in the early stages of learning the instrument.

The majority are pentatonic or modal making them easy to hear and sing apart from their modest technical demands.

The 16 rounds have numbers indicating the number of players and, besides lending themselves to group playing or playing with a teacher, they are a fine way to develop musical skills.

Selected and edited by Peter Batchelar, illustrations by Hazel Hunter.
