Duncan Baird Publishers (Author)

Book Description

March 1, 1995 Prospero's Library
From Cupid to mistletoe, The Book of Love Symbols explores the wonderful and arcane world of love. This charming little volume contains a wealth of lovers' lore, touching on such subjects as the mythology of Eros and Aphrodite; emblems of passion, seduction, and fidelity; and the romantic symbolism of the moon and stars. Colorful illustrations and striking photography combine with an insightful text in this enchanting voyage through the history, folklore, and symbolism of love. The perfect book for lovers, dreamers, and incurable romantics, or anyone who has ever been in love.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Even the most matter-of-fact lovers know what hearts, red roses, and rings mean, but there's a lot more to the ancient and subtle symbolism of love. This tiny, delicately illustrated volume of lovers' lore explores the meaning behind everyday items such as shoes, apples, and knots in four segments: "Fortunes," "Gifts of Love," "Moods of Love," and "Love Fulfilled."
