from hideous goblins It can happily be read by or to a child, though as an adult, it s impossible to ignore the sensual allusions, starting on the very first page, with the goblins tempting fare including plump unpecked cherries.The whole story is dripping with the juice of ripe fruit, and the beguiling words of the hideous goblins trying to sell ...This book was read for the readwomen month
