There are quite a few.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sin and redemptionBy Fred BThis marvelous story poem. written by a woman deeply embedded in religious life. can be read on many levels. some quite earthy. Redeemed by a sisters love (and what kind of love?) the sinners life again becomes whole. Or maybe its just a story of goblins trading in the forest... The Arthur Rackham drawings accompany the story as beautifully as he intended.

I love Arthur Rackhams artwork and add that to Christina Rossettis poetry. you cant lose. Also since this is from Dover Publications that is a plus. The hardback edition is more than I normally like to spend for books. but classics like this are well worth the extra money because youll keep it forever.
