Okay, it's not about Valentine's Day, but Joanne, your blog host at St. Valentine's Day History, has just released a new book of folklore and mythology that is all about bagpipes and pipers!
Barnes and Noble and Amazon are the first of the major booksellers to have The Piper Came to Our Town listed.
You can learn more about the book by visiting Bagpipe Folklore, Legends, and Fairy Tales. There you will find vintage photos, engravings, and other images of bagpipes and pipers from around the world, as well as stories, legends, and true-life tales related to piping.

Queen of Hearts Valentine

![]()
The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts
Upon a summer's day.
The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts
and quickly ran away.
Now were you but that Queen of Hearts
With tarts in fine array
I'd leave the tarts and steal your heat
and keep it dear, alway!
