Sally go round the Sun by Edith Fowke

Libro atractivamente ilustrado que trae trescientas canciones y poemas infantiles para rimas y juegos tradicionales, con sus partituras para que sean tocados a piano o a guitarra y los acordes de guitarra marcados. Es una joya de la impresión popular de finales de los 60.
