She wrote them while Robert Browning was courting her, and kept them private while the courtship lasted. It is something a screen cannot give: a real book you hold, write in, and hand on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor couples marking an anniversary or a wedding, for anyone who knows “How do I love thee” and wants the forty-three sonnets around it, and for readers who like to know what a poem is saying before they read it aloud.
