Walter and his Daughters - The story of the Carroll Family of Manchester - Basil Howitt
The Carroll family were at the heart of Mancunian music making for over a century and their influence extended to all corners of the globe. This intruiging narrative sets the achievements of the family, from Walter's imaginative piano miniatures for children to Ida's guiding hand in the formation of the illustrious Royal Northen College of Music (not forgetting Elsa's work for the Girl Guides) in their social and historical context, with incidental vignettes of many distinguished Mancunians.
