Christina Rossetti's first critically acclaimed collection of poetry featuring a preface by Elizabeth Macneal and original illustrations by Laurence Houseman. Two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, are enticed by the smells, sounds and sights of the goblin market, tempted by the ripe figs, plump cherries and fragrant berries. Whilst Lizzie resists, Laura is slowly destroyed by her insatiable longing for the goblin's forbidden fruit.
