GOBLIN MARKET by Christina Rossetti 1862

The painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti provided woodcuts for his sister's poems, published at five shillings (25p). These poems were moralistic and concerned with temptation, resistance and redemption. They reflected the author's experience working in a refuge for prostitutes.
