Customer Reviews

Beautiful illustrated book!

The original version of the Florence Harrison illustrated edition is extremely rare so I was glad to finally find this reprinted version which was actually affordable. My copy did not come with a dust cover so I am not sure if there was one originally. The white cover has a gold embossed line art illustration and purple spine. The book contains Victorian poet Christina Rossetti's poems such as "Goblin Market" with wonderful vintage Art Nouveau/Pre-Raphaelite style illustrations by early 20th century English illustrator Florence Harrison. My only complaint is that they did not include ALL of the original illustrations.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH ROSSETTI'S POETRY YEARS AGO...

In high school we were required to read a small book of Rossetti's poems. All I can say is that from the first page I was hooked and fell in love with this woman's classic work! She weaves images, ideas, deep spirituality, and drama like a spider weaves webs. Her skill was sharp and prolific, my only regret is that she did not write more poetry, for she was extraordinarily gifted.

This is great!

If you want to buy a book of beautiful poems and give them to the one you love, this is it!

Fine Poetry Complemented by Fine Paintings

In the pre-raphaelite spirit of detailed craftsmanship this accomplished range of Christina Rossetti's poetry is illustrated by fine works of art that includes paintings by her brother and other pre-raphaelite painters, all contrasting with today's ugly, imitative fashions.(Please note: This book is not entitled Passion and Devastion but Passion and Devotion)
