[CLOSE]
Light, airy, feet tapping with whispers of the Renaissance Era
author: C Rastall
A vertible treasure trove of musical instruments flow through the songs and melodies stirring the mind and senses. During sessions of reading Historical Fiction, Romances and Comedies, these compositions add Middle Ages ambiance firing the imagination. The book characters come alive with A Rosebud in June, Cruel Sister, Chastity Belt and True Thomas weaving their magic in the background. Great selections on this CD.
