A review by deekayfrey
Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti

2.0

This was an unexpected story. The only other sibling I have happens to be an older sister, so stories about sisters always hit me deeply. This one was no different. I loved that there were so many different ways one might interpret the goblins and the fruit they sell. It was reminiscent of the Garden of Eden and the devil convincing Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The fruit could mean temptation in general, sin, sex, greed, and/or consumerism. It is multifaceted and manages to capture your heart quickly. This story communicates that fantasy doesn't have to be complicated to make a big impression.
