Thrift store find, because I love Valenti Angelo's work and respect Bulla. I have no idea how accurate this is, or how sanitized for children it might be, given that it's almost 50 yrs old. But it seems reasonable, and is reasonably interesting, and the simply drawn illustrations are charming. ( ) Summary: This book talks about Valentines Day and what it is today and how it came to be. Thousands of years ago the Romans called it Lupercus becuase he was a God who protected the people from wolves. Girls would write their names on a paper and boys would draw them out of an urn and they would be partners in festivities and most would marry. It goes on to talk about other traditions that came of it and other places around the world that adapted it. Genre: Mythology because it talks about a tradition that is still going on today that started more than two thousand years ago. The author talks about the many places where "Valentines Day" came about and the different traditions places added or incorporated into their version of the holiday. Setting: The author uses setting to show the reader where the story is taking place. First, it starts off in modern time because the author shows a modern day classroom making cards and giving people Valentines. The setting switches to early Rome where the tradition begun showing pictures of Roman gods and telling the reader of the life and beliefs from that time period.
