"Love Letters: An Illustrated Anthology" is a beautiful book. It is filled with letters of historical figures to their partners. The book is split into various sections, such as "Jealousy," "Passion," "Beginnings," "Endings," and so forth.
The book mainly contains notes penned by those in the 1700's - 1800's. Letters between King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn are included, as well as many of my other favorite persons in history. These include Victor Hugo, Stendhal, Napoleon Bonaparte, Catherine of Aragon, Lewis Carroll, and so forth.
The one error that I noticed was that the book said that Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn were married in secret. Not entirely true...
Other than that, flawless.
Gorgeous oil paintings grace every few pages, and the book is one that looks very good on the shelf. A fun read.
