This is an well-edited, very sweet little book which includes--you guessed it--lots of love letters. They are not, however, love letters of the Hallmark variety, but instead clever, passionate missives from noted literary, artistic and historical figures. There is a memorably profane and flirtatious love note from Mozart to his wife; a sumptuous and elegant letter from Katherine Mansfied to John Middleton Murray; an enjoyably milquetoast yet clearly heartfelt letter from Napoleon to the Empress Josephine; and a very poignant one from Virginia Woolf to Vita Sackville-West. There are many other excellent sources ranging from George Bernard Shaw to Anais Nin, and they are all entertaining for their historic, emotional, and aesthetic content.
