This is the seventh album by Cardiacs and their first with drummer Bob Leith.

It was released as a limited run of 3000 double album sets, and later as two separate CDs. It is named after a children's hymn book owned by former Cardiacs keyboardist William D. Drake. Tim Smith has stressed the album is not a religious work. The track Nurses Whispering Verses has been recorded before, on Toy World and The Seaside.

As of March 2007, Part One and the double CD edition are out of stock on the official"Cardiacs website".
