Here are 23 new stories, written with characteristic affection and wit, which will greatly entertain Reg's loyal and eager readers. Bellowing basses, lead singers at least a line ahead of everyone else, temperamental organists, mildewing sheet music and fusty robes - welcome to the world of the local church choir. There is no better observer of the volatile relations between the clergy, the choir, the organist and the congregation than Reg Frary who has seen it all in almost seventy years' first hand experience of sitting in the choir stalls Sunday by Sunday. This is an ideal Christmas gift for anyone who sings in an amateur choir (and the more amateur, the better).

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    Reginald Frary’s new book is as entertaining as usual. Far-fetched and exaggerated (or at least, I hope they are exaggerated!) stories of various village choirs who sing traditional Victorian hymns with more gusto than skill. Story after story tells of eccentric organists and choir members. Mostly they are a law unto themselves, often disliked and misunderstood by Vicars and congregations alike, but still carry on in their own sweet way regardless. Not choirs I recognise, but they are fun to read about!
