A handsomely bound edition of the collected poems of English Pre-Raphaelite poet Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894), including the bewitching Goblin Market (1862) and her similarly Romantic Prince's Progress (1866), in which the central narrative evokes a folk-tale, telling the story of a lonely princess doomed to await the return of a wandering knight.
