The Rowan Tree

Hakala, Joyce E. The Rowan Tree. St. Paul, MN. Pikebone Music, 2007

People of Finnish ancestry, Girl Scouts, and musicians would all find this book fascinating.

This book talks about the life story of Marjorie Edgar. She was best known for her part in starting the Girl Scouts of America but was also a folklorist and musician.

A few points of interest are that her original songs as well songs from Finnish tradition are featured in this book. Songs are translated for ease of use.

This book is ment for expert readers with some knowledge of music, however, the songs are ment to be shared and enjoyed by all, especially around a campfire.
