Old-fashioned love stories

These are old-fashioned love stories. Some are tales of childhood sweethearts, some of older long-married couples who rediscover their love for each other, some involve the traditional "boy meets girl, gets married, happily ever after" scenario. All are sweet and rather innocent, compared to many stories today. They re-affirmed my faith in humanity and the ability of humans to love in a pure romantic way. I suppose your enjoyment of these stories will be linked to what you are looking for in a book of old-fashioned love stories -- I adored these. I suppose I could add, you would be comfortable giving this collection to your grandmother, or reading it to your children. There are a few classics in here, too, such as Appointment With Love, and Johnny Lingo's Eight-Cow wife. I highly recommend this collection. Here are the stories:1. Appointment With Love, by S.J.

But does Lorrel really love her betrothed? 5. Home is the Sailor, by Leon WareEllen was an old-maid librarian, with a gift for loving the young children she worked with.
