Editorial Reviews

"Robert Atwell's compilation of readings is delightful. (...) The readings cover a wide range of writers and a wide span of centuries. (...) I reckon that nearly 50% of them were new to me and so I gained real benefit from this book. (...) This is a book that I will gladly recommend to couples who are planning their marriage and looking for something to be read at the ceremony. (...) I may even be prepared to lend it to them but I will definitely be wanting to keep this book for myself!"
