I have always loved Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market poem, which is not surprising since I am, in general, a fan of fairy tales. So I was happy to be given an ebook copy of the book by NetGalley to review. And I was not disappointed. The art is fabulous. Illustrator Jensine Eckwall created black and white pictures with a few items highlighted in red. The illustrations are reminiscent of those in old books, published when the cost of color printing made for very limited pallettes. The style is suggestive of an old wood cut but more detailed. Author Vikki VanSickle has done a lovely job of re-spinning the story for young readers. I am sold. I need my own paper and ink copy. I hope you will give this book a try, too.

WE ADORED THIS BOOK. A little spooky but super cute. Perfect for fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas. The illustrations were wicked fun.
