The Perfect Life of Lovers

Here, in beautiful full-color illustrations, eye-catching photographs, and inspired text are the myths, legends, and factual accounts of lovers as their tales have reached us down through history. Recaptured here are the legends of Lancelot and Guinivere, Tristan and Isolde, Venus and Adonis, and even Adam and Eve. But not all great legends of love are from antiquity. Here too are memorable still shots of Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh from Gone With the Wind -- and the story of a screen romance that turned into the real thing when Bogie and Bacall first met on a Warner Brothers movie set. Readers will be enchanted by the stunning color photos of romantic locations -- Venice, Niagara Falls, sidewalk cafes in Paris, the Isle of Capri, and many more. Hundreds of photos and illustrations in both color and black-and-white.
