It certainly reads like something written nearly 200 years ago now, but some of the passages are very relatable to a modern reader; Priscilla's monologue on how a man thinks he can have whatever he wants from a woman without her opinion resonates still (unfortunately). A very quick, historical read with lovely verse.

The poems each form a chapter of this historical fiction (at least in details) romance. It is beautifully illustrated.
It is also shorter and a much lighter read than I had expected.

What a refreshing change of pace. A great Sunday read about a long-ago ancestor. The book belonged to my great-grandfather, Howard Engh, and was given to me by my grandmother. A neat "decorative" book, it sat on my shelf for years and years until I was finally curious enough to open it up.
In essence, it's a love-triangle of pilgrims who arrived on the Mayflower in the form of a poetic ballad.

I like the humor in this one. It made me laugh. Lovely wording; I found myself getting caught up in a single phrase for moments at a time. Can't remember the last time I enjoyed poetry so much!
