Imagine you are standing in the middle of a busy London street over 150 years ago. Above the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages and the shouts of street sellers, a magnificent sound fills the air—the ringing of great church bells!

The nursery rhyme "St Paul's Steeple," was published in Walter Crane's beautifully illustrated The Baby's Opera. This book provides a delightful glimpse into a simpler time.This playful set of verses inadvertently introduces us to the profound and often awe-inspiring world of bell ringing – specifically, the captivating effects of a peal of bells and the intricate beauty of a carillon.
