I was lucky to receive an ARC of this audiobook from NetGalley I enjoyed listening to this collection. I like that you can listen to different poems and stories separately when you feel like it. You can just listen to one tale a time and doesn’t take much of your time. Or if you are in the mood for a bit of romance or old time love, you can just pick a tale or a poem and have a listen. I especially enjoyed the old familiar stories like Rapunzel and I enjoyed the poems. The letters were less for me but it is still good to read letters from the past and see how much communication between people have changed from the 1800s to today. It’s quite eye opening. All in all, this is a good collection of stories about love. I really enjoyed listening to it.

** spoiler alert ** *I was kindly sent this in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley* This compilation has been chosen wonderfully, I loved all of the pieces that appeared. John Keats is the owner of my heart and soul, everything he wrote was absolutely beautiful. I also loved Shakespeare’s sonnets and Wordsworth’s poem. This collection also made me discover Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and I will be reading more of her in the future. I also discovered a few short stories (except for Rapunzel of course, and I had heard of Wilde’s The Nightingale and the Rose too since it is quite famous and he is one of my favourite authors ever), and I was pleasantly surprised by them. For my number one I have to choose Wilde, because as always, his writing is magnificent. In my opinion, it was very original to include letters. I would like to read more journals and letters, and I am hoping that this will be the last push that I needed to start doing so. The first Hamilton letter was very beautiful, it was probably my favourite (you become dearer to me every moment). As for the audio, I really liked that they had different people narrating, depending on the author they were reciting. They all do a marvellous job. All in all, really well done, I would rate it 4.5 stars if I could, but it’ll have to do with 4.
