A charming copy of the comprehensive collection of Christina Rossetti's poems. William Michael was Rossetti's brother and in his memoir notes that his sister composed her first verse, "Cecilia never went to school / Without her gladiator," before she was old enough to write. The children produced a family newspaper, "The Hodge-Podge or Weekly Efforts," the first issue of which was dated 20 May 1843, and later a periodical titled "The Illustrated Scrapbook." Christina's early poetic efforts included experiments in lyric, devotional, pastoral, ballad, and fantasy forms.

Small 8vo (1.5 x 12.5cm); 4 engraved plates including frontispiece of a scene from 'Goblin Market'; contemporary full red morocco John Bumpus with discreet binders stamp, gilt spine in six compartments, small gilt stamped motifs to board corners, gilt inner dentelled, all edges gilt, a fine attractive copy; xiv, 450pp.
