{"product_id":"goblin-market-and-other-selected-poems-9781606601204","title":"Goblin Market and Other Selected Poems","description":"From one of the finest poets of the Victorian era comes this treasury of verse, combining two classic collections of poetry by Christina Rossetti: \u003ci\u003eGoblin Market and Other Poems\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShorter Poems\u003c\/i\u003e. The centerpiece is Rossetti's most famous work, \"Goblin Market,\" a haunting fairy tale. For children, the narrative fable offers a romp through a fantasy world. For older readers, the market's lusciously described fruits represent the temptations of self-indulgence, rendering the poem a moving moral allegory of pleasure, sacrifice, and redemption. \u003cbr\u003e Beautifully illustrated with 16 full-color paintings and scores of line drawings by Florence Harrison, this volume also includes such popular poems as \"The Hour and the Ghost,\" \"My Dream,\" \"Mirage,\" \"Twilight Calm,\" and 32 other wondrous meditations on love and loss, death and remembrance, and nature and spirituality. It offers a splendid introduction to the glories of Rossetti's work as well as a lovely keepsake edition for those already acquainted with the deeply spiritual poet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBritish poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) is associated with the Pre-Raphaelites, a circle of artists and writers led by her brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. After decades of neglect, her work was rediscovered in the 1970s and hailed for its proto-feminist qualities. \u003cbr\u003eIllustrator Florence Susan Harrison (1877-1955) is chiefly associated with the Scottish firm of Blackie \u0026amp; Son, Ltd., for whom she illustrated many volumes of poetry, including the works of Tennyson and Morris.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Calla Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176253817106,"sku":"9781606601204","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_73682f44-9dd8-4c51-ae07-0c168e451ab3.jpg?v=1744297387","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/goblin-market-and-other-selected-poems-9781606601204","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
