Lost Love celebrates this most fundamental emotion, looking back on the romantic ideals and pursuits of times past. Beautifully designed and illustrated, this enchantingly nostalgic book explores the world of love, with entries on, for example, famous lovers, love tokens, serenading, courtly love, Victorian love and love in Roman times. These are complemented by poems, extracts from novels, entertaining anecdotes and customs past and present from around the world. For those inspired to treat the love of their life, tips are given on making flower garlands, using candles and incense to create a romantic mood and writing love letters when absence is helping the heart grow fonder.
