- Description: Convicts, Coon Songs, Fairy bells, coach and four grey horses, bubonic plague, ' dirty' Boers, Sarie Marais, Ballarat, Melbourne, Colombo, harem skirt, and handbells. All feature in this wonderful, fascinating, and meticulously researched book by Anne Doggett and Gwyn Gillard.The book starts with a chapter entitled Handbells in History. We learn a little of ancient handbells before the authors discuss nineteenth century English handbell founders, such as those based at Whitechapel; Warners; Taylors; Gillett and Johnston; Shaw of Bradford; and the Rudhalls of Gloucester. Rapid industrialisation, the authors argue, led to immense social changes in Europe and increased demand for entertainment, some of which was provided by touring companies and family groups who played handbells.
