“Goblin Market,” a poem by the 19th century poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), was written, according to the author, for children. “Goblin Market,” is a poem about two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, and the events that take place after Laura is unable to avoid the temptations of “goblin men” and their calls to “come buy” the luscious fruit that they sell each night in the market place.

Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market instigates significant controversy and dispute in many of its critics and readers, despite its deceptively simple form.

Michael and his siblings were educated in reading, writing and arithmetic at a small school. Since the family was poor

Given her experience of labor among former prostitutes and other "fallen women" in Highgate Orphanage, it is reasonable to assume some of the links in the Goblin Market with the trauma suffered by these women. Goblin Market may well be read as a story of temptation, unrequited love, loss of innocence, and ultimately spiritual and social
I clenched my dad’s hand until my knuckles turned white, clinging on for safety. I didn’t even consider the idea of him not being there. I looked down in awe at his monstrously large hand attached to my tiny one. While everything and everyone else was shivering, his hand remained warm and comforting.
