Author: Christina Rossetti
Publisher: Batsford Books

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
The classic poem, Goblin Market (1862) by Christina Rossetti, tells the story of Lizzie and Laura, who are tempted by the fruit sold by the goblin merchants. In this fully illustrated and beautiful volume, illustrator Georgie McAusland brings the words and story to life. SHORTLISTED in the V&A Illustration Awards and the World Illustration Awards. Breathing new life into the Victorian tradition of illustrated poems, this book reads like a picture story book. The stunning illustrations illuminate and drive the narrative forward as in all good story books. It tells the tale of the two sisters drifting apart as Laura succumbs to the forbidden fruit sold by the goblins, but the bonds of sisterhood prove strong. The poem has fascinated for generations and been the subject of various interpretations. This illustrated version brings the words and story alive for a new generation. Christina Rossetti is considered the foremost female poet of her time, and her poetry still resonates with women's lives today, as she entwines themes of sexuality, sisterhood, love and temptation in her work. All of these themes are encapsulated in Goblin Market. The book includes an introduction to the poem by novelist Kirsty Gunn, so all readers – for pleasure or study – can understand its riches.

The devastating drug, goblin fruit, is off the streets. Better yet, people have finally found a way to interact with their catatonic loved ones. By simply holding their hands, a gesture once taboo, they can travel into the shared dream world of Goblinton, a place of eternal summer. But all is not well in the summer world as it is suddenly plunged into winter, the queen of Goblinton falls into a deep depression, and, worst of all, people begin to go catatonic—their condition in the dream world, mirroring their illness in the real one. They become trapped in their own minds in both places. Unable to move or act for themselves, they are suffering horribly. Todd will stop at nothing to save his uncle and the world that keeps him free and living, even if he has to hurt people to do it.

Stone Fruit

Publisher: Fantagraphics Books

Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Bron and Ray are a queer couple who enjoy their role as the fun weirdo aunties to Ray’s niece, six-year-old Nessie. Their playdates are little oases of wildness, joy, and ease in all three of their lives, which ping-pong between familial tensions and deep-seeded personal stumbling blocks. As their emotional intimacy erodes, Ray and Bron isolate from each other and attempt to repair their broken family ties ― Ray with her overworked, resentful single-mother sister and Bron with her religious teenage sister who doesn’t fully grasp the complexities of gender identity. Taking a leap of faith, each opens up and learns they have more in common with their siblings than they ever knew. At turns joyful and heartbreaking, Stone Fruit reveals through intimately naturalistic dialog and blue-hued watercolor how painful it can be to truly become vulnerable to your loved ones ― and how fulfilling it is to be finally understood for who you are. Lee Lai is one of the most exciting new voices to break into the comics medium and she has created one of the truly sophisticated graphic novel debuts in recent memory.
