All for Love

. a fire goddess wanting revenge. two men prepared to die for each other . marriage to a Maasai. the story of the willow pattern plate. the greatest legend in Australia’s horse racing history. the language of flowers. love on the internet…and much, much more!Love across time and spaceHave you ever thought of love as being like the measles? – or like a bicycle repair kit? Maybe you think of it as being more like a volcano. The stories in this book look at love from all angles. They move from Hawaii to China, Australia, Kenya, Cambodia and into cyberspace; from a family of refugees to a Sultan in his palace; from stories of legendary passion to a heart-stretching piece about the waiting, watching wife of a man lost in the frozen Arctic. Anecdotes, limericks, quotations add a light touch and may tell you things you never knew before (why are tiger testicles and walrus tusks so highly valued?). A fascinating look at a timeless theme.
