The book was much neater than I thought it would be based on the seller's description. I had no idea it would contain a cd of the song (performed by Peter Yarrow and his daughter), and there was some really interesting background information on the genesis of the song and the possibility of there being a "real" Land of Honalee. As a grown-up collector of children's books, I was thrilled about this one!
