#goblin market
Little book haul, got them all for £6 at the very well stocked charity shop nearby
I’ve read The Western Wind before but it’s so great I wanted to own a copy- it’s kind of a mystery but set in a 15th century village. So well researched, there’s no feeling of getting a history lesson, you just live the story through the villagers and end up understanding so much about what it might have been like to be alive then.

Morning and evening
Maids heard the goblins cry:
“Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy.”
-Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market
