"Goblin Market," a poem by Christina Rossetti, tells the story of two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, who encounter goblin merchants selling exotic fruits. Laura, enticed by their offerings, succumbs to temptation and eats the fruit, which leads to her decline. Lizzie, aware of the dangers, resists the goblins and ultimately confronts them to save Laura. The poem explores themes of temptation, sisterly love, and redemption. With Arthur Rackham’s enchanting illustrations, the story comes alive, highlighting the contrast between the seductive allure of the goblins and the strength of familial bonds.
