See yonder fire! It is the moon Slow rising o're the eastern hill.
It glimmers in the forest tips.
And through the dewey foliage drips In little rivulets of light.
And makes the heart in love with night."
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
For poets and painters, lovers and lunatics, the moon has been the awe-inspiring source and symbol of feminine power and profound mystery since ancient time. This unqiue and richly illustrated gift book is designed to be a cherished expression of love to be given during the full moon. With journal entry space in each of its thirteen sections, one can record musings, quiet observations, and passionate messages to be shared with friends and loved ones. The book includes paintings, photography, iconography from ancient lunar maps, children's art, as well as selections of poetry and prose from many diverse lands. A five-year lunar calendar, a list of suggested full moon gifts, and a compilation of moon-related information concludes this unusual gathering of lunar celebration.
Ellen Moore Anderson lives north of Duluth, Minnesota, where, for the past decade, she has given, received, and recorded full moon gifts. A former teacher of children with learning disabilities, she is the mother of seven children, an oil painter, and founder of the EMMA Fund for artists.

I thought that Queen Margot couldn't be topped. I should have known better.
Honestly, I do not have enough space to fully explain all the ways I adore this book. But I'll try to condense it.
-First, the four main characters. Love, love, love, and more love. Aramis and Porthos - the Merry and Pippin of the group, if you'll excuse the extremely dorkish LOTR cross-reference - made me laugh; D'Artagnan was charming even though (or maybe because) he had multiple moments where, were I in the story, I wouldn't know whether to kiss him or smack him upside the head; and the pure unfiltered AWESOME that is Athos cannot be put into words.
-My copy of the book is 754 pages, but I was able to finish it in less than two weeks and not even notice the length because the story was so engrossing. As soon as I finished it, I wanted to flip back to page 1 and start all over again.
-Duels. Lots and lots of duels.
-The only complaint I had regarding the other Dumas book I'd read before this (Queen Margot, as previously mentioned) was that there was a total lack of what I will bluntly call the dirty details. In Margot, all the sex scenes were kept out of the way and, judging by the description Dumas gave us of the characters' nighttime activities, no one managed to get laid for the entire book. The Three Musketeers, on the other hand, is by no means a bodice-ripper but is still very romantic. And then there's the scene where D'Artagnan decides that nailing Milady will be a good way to get revenge on her for kidnapping his girlfriend. Which brings me to my next point...
-Milady. Holy crap. I try to come up with words to describe her, but I can't do it because my brain sort of slows down until all I can hear are the words "Most. Badass. Character. Ever." repeating in my head over and over while the song "Cold Hard Bitch" by JET starts playing in the background. (if that makes any sense at all. Just go with it, okay?)
But seriously, let's talk about Milady for a minute. She keeps poison in her ring, seduces a guard who has been specifically warned that she'll try to seduce him, stabs herself in the chest to make people think she killed herself, regularly tries to assassinate D'Artagnan and his friends, and was generally such a psychotic bitch that even Cardinal Richelieu was afraid of her.
UPDATE
Dear Hollywood,
What the FUCK is wrong with you?
Seriously, fuck you guys.
Love,
Madeline
