(This title belongs to the WONDERLAND IMPRINTS MASTER EDITION series. Master Editions are deluxe illustrated e-books featuring essays, annotations and additional material, celebrating the finest and most compelling works of classic fiction.)By far the most sensuous and erotic of dark Victorian fantasies, Christina Rossetti’s GOBLIN MARKET is an enchanting and disturbing tale of innocence, temptation, sexual indulgence and the quest for redemption. Two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, are tempted by the sweet forbidden fruits of the goblin men. One shies away, the other indulges and falls into a sinister world of violence, greed, dominance and black desire. Can a sister’s love save the fallen from an eternity of slavery among the goblin men? Fascinating, haunting and bold in its forthright sincerity, GOBLIN MARKET is a tale you will forever remember. This Wonderland Imprints edition exclusively features the full lyric tale by Christina Rossetti, two period prose interpretations of the tale, and a beautiful suite of Pre-Raphaelite illustrations.
