“[A] bravura picture book . . . With its righteous turning of tables courtesy of Millie’s quick thinking, Into the Goblin Market, which was inspired by the like-themed Christina Rossetti poem, earns a spot in the contemporary fairy-tale pantheon. . . . Eckwall’s black-and-white art, which has the look of elaborate woodcuts, hosts a cauldron’s worth of classic fairy-tale allusions. Readers can spot a piper, a witch with a (presumably) poisoned apple, and, in one of the book’s occasional blasts of color, rescue-mode Millie in a red hood, conjuring another red-cloaked hero of the fairy-tale world.” —STARRED REVIEW, Shelf Awareness
“A tribute to the work of Victorian poet Christina Rosetti, Into the Goblin Market is a delicious treat for those yearning for a bit of frightful adventure.” —STARRED REVIEW, BookPage
“A gratifying, happy-ever-after tale of symbiotic sororal cleverness.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A beautiful blend of classic aesthetics and modern sensibilities with a marvelous message of courage and love. . . . [A] bewitching book.” —Booklist
“Into the Goblin Market stands out all on its own. Two sisters, Mina and Millie, use the strength of their unbreakable bond when Mina disappears, perhaps to be consumed by malign forces. Millie, confronting the supernatural terrors of classic fairy tales with an undertone of Rosetti’s feminist poem, rescues her beloved sibling and they return home. The poetry is hypnotic, the pictures are stunning, and the sisters are undefeated through their love.” —Imaginary Elevators
