Product Description
When Saint Valentine was a priest during the third century in Rome, Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage. Despite the emperor's decree, Saint Valentine continued to perform marriages until Claudius finally put him to death. Today, Valentine's Day celebrates Saint Valentine's sacrifice and love's triumph with delicate valentines, bright flowers, and tasty candies. In this exhaustive exploration of Valentine's Day, collector and author Michele Karl showcases over 200 vintage valentines, complete with detailed descriptions, historical anecdotes, and innovative recipes. Also included are fun facts, folklore, poems, crafts, and other expressions of love. Lovers of all ages will delight in this book's wealth of information and history behind our most romantic holiday.
