Poetry has always been "the language of love," but as this delightful collection demonstrates, the course of true love rarely runs smoothly! In this volume, you'll get a Victorian glimpse of Cupid as reporter, meet a woman whose marriage depends upon her pearly teeth, and find out who, on Valentine's day, is the most "sought-after" man of all! You'll also meet the "new" Victorian woman - the bluestocking, the Girton Girl, the Crystal Gazer - who proves to be an interesting challenge for the ardent Victorian suitor! Discover the perils of building "castles in Spain," meet the remarkable Advertising Girl, find out how a Frenchman seeks his hat and gains a wife, and get a look at an unusual agricultural courtship. You'll fall in love with this collection!.
