Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Stanley Newman's third volume of literary-themed crosswords is all about LOVE—50 original puzzles about 50 legendary literary romances spanning thousands of years.
Each puzzle boasts:
• A quote specifically about love from the puzzle's subject
• Plenty of general literature-related clues
• Fascinating trivia about the puzzle's subject
The wide variety of sources represented includes novels, plays, poetry, opera, myths, real-life literary couples, and more.
Besides the obvious (like Romeo and Juliet), the delightfully diverse—and surprising—list of subjects includes Lolita, Like Water for Chocolate, "The Owl and the Pussycat," Carmen, Porgy and Bess, Tarzan & Jane, Odysseus & Penelope, and Dashiell Hammett & Lillian Hellman.
