Hot Peas and Barley-O is a collection of thirty-one children's songs and games from Scotland, selected, transcribed and annotated by Dr. Susan Brumfield. Beautifully illustrated with rare photos from the past, along with the fresh faces of children of today, this book is filled with traditional children's music passed down from one generation to another, including rhymes for skipping rope, counting out, and ball-bouncing, singing games and songs just for fun.

The enclosed CD contains authentic field recordings collected in the 1940s, '50s and '60s, and new recordings that feature children from the National Youth Choir of Scotland and the New Beacon School for Boys.
