These and many others are famous lines of poetry that often occur in everyday speech. But do you know the rest of the verse, or even the rest of the poem?

An anthology to warm the coldest heart or charm the least romantic soul, this is a collection of poems (or in some cases, extracts) that are not only memorable, but lend themselves to being learned by heart.

This is the perfect book for anyone with even the vaguest interest in poetry, providing a wonderful opportunity to revisit those much-loved lines remembered from earlier days.

Reviews:

Guaranteed to warm the heart and inspire romance... the perfect book for anyone with even the vaguest interest in poetry and a wonderful opportunity to revisit those much-loved, half-remembered lines from days gone by.
