"The ultimate insider's guide to everyone's favourite Church of England service: Choral Evensong, as heard in cathedrals and churches throughout the land", writes Sir John Rutter.

"Tim Popple, ex-chorister and now cathedral choirman, lifts the lid on its mysteries with the lightest of touches, plenty of anecdotes, and some laugh-out-loud moments.

"Whether you are a seasoned devotee or you don't know your versicles from your canticles, this book is guaranteed to have you running to your nearest cathedral to experience the beauties of choral worship . . . and you will go back and back."
