A quick look at bookfinder.com revealed a bit about John Hullah. Apparently, he was a music teacher, composer and song book editor of the 19th century. I was most amazed to learn of "The Village Coquettes," a comic opera in two acts, music by Hullah, text by Charles Dickens.

To learn more, go to bookfinder.com and type in John Hullah in the space for "author," hit search and viola! However, I could find no books similar to the one you are enquiring after.

Happy questing -- Tom
