jan 14, 1862 - “Goblin Market” by, Christina Rossetti

Description:

Rossetti’s fairy-tale poem reads as a cautionary tale, warning young girls to be wary of temptation. At the time of publication, this was a successful children’s story that has over the years been interpreted as a commentary not only on temptation but other issues such as woman’s right and place in society.
