This collection investigates the preservation and dissemination of international folk music through the specific arrangements and repertoire of the musical group The Weavers. The authors, members of the influential folk ensemble, compile nearly eighty songs to provide a functional resource for home performance. By including piano arrangements and guitar chords, the book serves as both a historical document of the group's career and a practical guide for musicians interested in their specific musical interpretations.

Experts and music historians recognize this volume as a significant primary source for understanding the mid-century folk revival movement. Readers frequently note that the arrangements remain accessible for amateur musicians while providing a clear window into the group's performance style.
