Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-03 00:00:00 Peter Fuentes Montoya While this book is targeted for children (perhaps middle school) I found it an informative and enjoyable read, and never felt as if it was beneath me. There are numerous illustrations (photos of the Brownings, original letters written by them, pictures of their homes, etc.) that help flesh out the text. There are also many quotes from their various poems. I would give this a B/B+ so four stars here.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-05-31 00:00:00 Mike Kondi This book by The British Library was perfect for my wants. It provided me with the background I desired sparked by reading Michael Wilcox's book Sunset. I had forgotten many of the poems of both poets. I wanted to be refreshed and learn more. I liked the divisions in the book moving from chapters on each of their early lives to their courtship, marriage, Paris and London, Aurora Leigh thru Italy and death. I learned details that I didn't know...most interesting. The book was concise and included pictures and original manuscripts, etc. In one hundred and twenty-two pages I felt I came away with a clear overview of their lives and accomplishments. I savored Elizabeth's last words to Robert, "Our lives are held by God!" Nice read.
