This book is actually two novellas called morpheo eugena and conjugal angel. I really liked some of the descriptive narration of this book in the first novella. I did like the story but felt that is could have been reduced to about five pages. It is very long with information that isn't necessary. I got very bored and barely finished it. Both stories are set in england and deals with alot of poetry. The first novel is about a young man who traveled into different parts of the world and on his way back to England when his boat shipwrecks. He studies bugs and insects (mostly butterflies) and stays with a family. The father is a clergyman who has three grown daughters and several younger children. The young man fancies one of the daughters and has an interesting courtship with her and a spin in the ending. A sidepart of the story is the father who is trying to write a book and about God's Love for humanity by comparison through bees, ants and butterflies. It is very interesting points of view if the narration didn't get so dull. As a result of not being overly impressed with the first novella I did not read the second one. This certainly a book I do not recommend unless you like long philosphical narrations.
