Review
Even the most matter-of-fact lovers know what hearts, red roses, and rings mean, but there's a lot more to the ancient and subtle symbolism of love. This tiny, delicately illustrated volume of lovers' lore explores the meaning behind everyday items such as shoes, apples, and knots in four segments: "Fortunes," "Gifts of Love," "Moods of Love," and "Love Fulfilled."
