About this audiobook
Christina was born in London in 1830 one of four children who were all to become artists and writers. Educated at home, her life was filled with the Italian influences of her Father and the wide ranging interests of her mother. She began to write at age 12 as her Fathers health broke and the family’s descended to near poverty. She first published aged 18 and over the following decade her writing was to flourish and in 1860 her most famous work Goblin Market was released and her reputation was set. A sufferer from Graves disease from the 1870’s she also developed breast cancer which subsequently recurred and was to cause her death in 1894. She is buried in Highgate Cemetery.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you like the poet, this is a handsome volume done up with decoration and typeface that mimic the period very well.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A nice selection of Ms Rossetti's classic. The layout is nice and the print is agreeable, but there are no scholarly notes to distract a reader with. The book often only quotes parts of poems, which gets annoying when you keep seeing the same title over and over, but it gives a great range of poetry from the religious verse to love poetry to children's rhymes. She has the most marvelous ear and can pull off some rhymes that most normally can't.
