Book Overview

Ballads: Rose Mary, The White Ship, The King's Tragedy is a collection of three ballads written by the famous English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

The second ballad, The White Ship, is a tragic tale of a shipwreck that takes the lives of many members of the royal family, including the heir to the throne. The final ballad, The King's Tragedy, is a retelling of the murder of James I of Scotland by his own nobles. All three ballads are written in Rossetti's signature style, with rich language and vivid imagery that brings the stories to life.
