Into the Goblin Market

Praise

“[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 gratifying, happy-ever-after tale of symbiotic sororal cleverness.” —Kirkus Reviews
