What can one say about Peter Yarrow?  A living legend.  A committed pacifist.  A truly remarkable human being.  Oh, and a true musician who has spread his message of peace and love for over four decades.  Of course everyone knows Puff the Magic Dragon--and I was privileged to share an anecdote with Peter himself over dinner told to me by the mother of a local girl:

The girl was crying because she thought little Jackie Paper had died, but when Mom told her, " Jackie didn't die, he just grew up," she just cried all the harder and said "that's even worse!"

Peter laughed with such glee, and said "Oh, she gets it.” 

This is the third in The Peter Yarrow Songbook series.  Containing such timeless classics as "She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain ", "Down By the Riverside", "We shall not be moved" and "My Bonnie lies over the Ocean" among many others.  Included are a CD of delightful music performed by Peter and Bethany Yarrow, complete guitar chord progressions for each of the songs, and delicious illustrations by Terry Widener.  This is a truly delightful, must have addition to any family library.
