Happy Love Day! I couldn’t resist posting this book today in honor of St. Valentine. This beautiful little book is a collection of Shakespeare’s Love Sonnets, wonderfully illustrated by my good friend, the talented Caitlin Keegan. Each spread has a sonnet on the right side, the first sentence lavishly lettered by hand, and on the facing page, an intricate pattern or bright design to accompany the poem. The book is a great small size with a fabric binding making it feel like a special book you could have by your bedside.

To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I eyed,
Such seems your beauty still.

Awwwwww….. the sonnets are quite romantic. Don’t you want to read them aloud to your lover? Ha. You should get a copy right here.
