How to Write Love Letters

Offering sample writings, historical examples, and practical advice, this invaluable and beautifully packaged book contains guidance for all occasions that call for eloquent and inspired love letters. Modern model letters to adapt and use in specific circumstances, tips on letter-writing techniques, and creative suggestions for packaging and delivering messages of love are peppered with fanciful, original Victorian illustrations, making the look of this volume as romantic as the letters within. With charming specificity, guidance and appropriate words are provided for various would-be Shakespeares, from the "morning-after lover" and the "anniversary lover" to the "frustrated lover" and the "neglected lover." Also included are a short history of epistolary romance, 76 model letters, and a host of helpful and witty epigrams.
