Customer Reviews

Stunning poetry beautifully packaged
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's collection of love poems needs no introduction. A collection of love letters in verse, the title refers to the nickname given to the poet by her lover and husband Robert Browning.

Bloomsbury's pocket-sized edition is the perfect foil for these verses, small enough for you to carry about with you if you fancy a quick-fix of romance during your day, the binding elegant enough to make a perfect Valentine's gift.

I love all the Bloomsbury Classics series. The paper is heavy with a lovely creamy texture and the dust jackets are decorated with a series of block printed patterns. For me, this title will be a welcome addition to my collection and a companion to Robert Browning's selected poems from the same edition.
