Nillywill and Hands-pansy were the most unimportant and happy pair
of lovers the world has ever gained or lost. With them it had been
a case of love at first blindness since the day when they had
tumbled into each other's arms in the same cradle. And Hands-pansy,
when he first saw her, did not discover that Nillywill was a real
princess hiding her birthright in the home of a poor peasant; nor
did Nillywill, when she first saw Hands, see in him the
baby-beginnings of the most honest and good heart that ever sprang
out of poverty and humble parentage. So from her end of their
little crib she kicked him with her royal rosy toes, and he from
his kicked back and laughed: and thus, as you hear, at first
blindness they fell head over ears in love with one another.

With a preface by Elizabeth Macneal and original illustrations by
Laurence Housman. Two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, are enticed by the
smells, sounds and sights of the goblin market, tempted by the ripe
figs, plump cherries and fragrant berries. Whilst Lizzie resists,
Laura is slowly destroyed by her insatiable longing for the
goblin's forbidden fruit. Complete & Unabridged. Part of the
Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound,
pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.
These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book
lover. Here is Christina Rossetti's first critically acclaimed
collection of poetry. Published in 1862, as well as 'Goblin Market'
it contains some of her most treasured work, such as 'A Birthday',
'An Apple Gathering' and 'Remember'. It launched her career as the
foremost female poet of her time and, more than a century later,
modern readers are still seduced by its symbolism and sensual
language.
The much-loved tales from 'The Thousand and One Nights' first
appeared in English translation in the early nineteenth century.
The popularity of these ancient and beguiling tales set against the
backdrop of Baghdad, a city of wealth and peace, stoked the
widespread enthusiasm for and scholarly interest in eastern arts
and culture, which had been a dominant fashion in Europe for almost
a century. Four of the most well-known tales, translated by
Laurence Housman, are reproduced in this collector's edition:
'Sindbad the Sailor', 'Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp', 'The Story
of the Three Calenders' and 'The Sleeper Awakened'. Each is
illustrated with exquisite watercolours by the renowned artist
Edmund Dulac. The sumptuous illustrations reproduced here capture
the beauty and timeless quality of these alluring stories, made at
the zenith of early twentieth-century book illustration.
More than eight million young men perished during the First
World War--a staggering figure. The natural reaction to such a
great loss of humanity was to forget the individuals and recast the
conflict into one of faceless armies and battles commemorated in
stone and metal monuments. "War Letters of Fallen Englishmen" was
published following the war in order to remind the living of those
who were lost in the name of the British crown--brothers, husbands,
fathers, sons.This collection provides, in the very words of those
who participated and died in combat, the closest approximation
possible to the experience of war. Carefully selected from
thousands of letters, those in this collection are poignant,
powerful, and graphic and were chosen for their depth of
perception, the intensity of their descriptions, and their messages
to future generations. This edition contains a new foreword by the
distinguished World War I historian Jay Winter.
