"Good folk, I have no coin,
To take were to purloin:
I have no copper in my purse,
I have no silver either,
And all my gold is on the furze
That shakes in windy weather
Above the rusy heather."



A startling and unique poetry collection by an underrated female writer. It's a short, yet beautiful collection. It's ideal for fans of other fantasy works, especially [b:The Lord of the Rings|33|The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, #1-3)|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1566425108l/33._SX50_.jpg|3462456]. If you can enjoy the wordy language of [a:J.R.R. Tolkien|656983|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1564399522p2/656983.jpg], then you will love Rossetti's writing. Her words transport you far away to lands of magic and mystery. I could feel myself traveling through mystical lands and meeting strange creatures.



Since most of the poems are written in a prose style, this book can be enjoyed by fiction and poetry readers alike. It's great for fans of [b:Beowulf|52357|Beowulf|Unknown|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327878125l/52357._SY75_.jpg|189503], [b:Le Morte D'arthur|1178076|Le Morte D'arthur|Thomas Malory|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|1361856], [b:Gulliver's Travels|7733|Gulliver's Travels|Jonathan Swift|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1427829692l/7733._SY75_.jpg|2394716] and [b:The Chronicles of Narnia|11127|The Chronicles of Narnia (Chronicles of Narnia, #1-7)|C.S. Lewis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1449868701l/11127._SY75_.jpg|781271]. It's a lovely combination of imagery and classical writing. Pair it with a classical music playlist, a warm cup of tea and a blanket and you got the perfect afternoon ahead of you.
