Goblin Market

Goblin Market Synopsis

The sensual and beautiful classic long poem which has inspired Alice in The Wonderland, tells the story of two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, tempted by diabolical goblin merchants selling amazing fruits. Like Alice In Wonderland, Goblin Market is a surrealist masterpiece about magic, diabolical goblins portrayed as beastly devils, forbidden fruits and guilty pleasure. Throughout the poem set up in a small farm of the British countryside, a phantasmagorical secret hangs in the air like an allegory for something from the realm of human intimacy, something in conflict with guilty pleasures and forbidden biblical food. In this illustrated bilingual edition, Eva Vasileva, illustrator and Alix Daniel, translator breath a new life to this genial and exquisite poem.
