Love is a beautiful feeling that gives you pinpricks of emotions in your heart, makes you float in thin air and magically satiates physical hunger. But do you readers know the origin of Valentine's Day or how sweet nothings came about? This informative book has all you need to know about love.
Come take a breezy tour through the history and traditions surrounding the many ways people celebrate love.
You may be surprised to learn that not one, but 3 St. Valentine's died on February 14th; that more than just dishes are broken at a traditional Greek wedding; that the same recipe has been used to make Conversation Hearts candies since 1902; and that aphrodisiac Spanish fly is made from powdered beetle carcasses.
Delightfully illustrated and complete with crafts and recipes, this book will appeal to everyone who has ever waited with bated breath for a suitor's roses - whether or not they actually arrived.
I found this book quite intriguing to say the least, and it's a generalized book that can be read by the young and old. For a non-fiction, I give this book my two thumbs up! Eat, pray and love people!
