Synopsis

Christina Rossetti’s famous narrative poem is a gothic fantasy, dangling two young sisters before sin and death. The lyrical masterpiece is brought to life with haunting illustrations by Arthur Rackham.

Lizzie and Laura are best friends as well as sisters. They love each other dearly, and nothing can come between them. But when Laura falls victim to temptation and is persuaded to eat the fruit a grotesque group of goblins offer her, the sisters’ relationship is tested. Will Lizzie be able to save Laura from a tragic end? With themes of morality, sin, and redemption, Goblin Market is one of Christina Rossetti’s most popular pieces, first published in 1862.

The wonderful poem is accompanied by haunting, dream-like illustrations by Golden Age Illustrator Arthur Rackham. His unique style refines and elucidates Rossetti’s masterful poetry.
