Description
The Giant Book of Classic Romance Stories presents the reader with a wide selection of passionate tales from 24 authors including Louisa May Alcott, O. Henry, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Rafael Sabatini and Robert Louis Stevenson. These are stories of the heart, taking us into the depths of heartache and up into the peaks of passion. Most importantly, they are portraits of human love, which never changes throughout the passages of time. Some of these stories may be familiar to the well-versed reader, others may be read for the first time, but many will leave an impact on the heart and soul. Think romance of the past was stuffy, full of swooning ladies and proper gentlemen? If so, you are in for a surprise! This book has stories of brave women, heroes, fishwives and scoundrels, and couples that seem to have all odds set against them, and yet romance finds a way to blossom. You’re in for a real treat, even if you aren’t into reading romance as a general rule. Go ahead and take the plunge—your heart will thank you for it! 6×9”, softcover. (504 pp; 9781935573791) $22.95
