The Goblin Market Tarot

The Goblin Market Tarot

John Matthews, the author on all things mythical and magical, asked me if I would be interested in illustrating this.

Based on Christina Rossetti's famous poem " Goblin Market ", he adapted this curiously incompatible theme with a very different variation on the traditional tarot.


I made some trial drawings last summer which were well received by John and Watkins, the publishers. Then all 80 images for the deck flowed out in record time.

I am waiting now to see the final proofs with John's book which will be launched in September / October. 


Talking to my old friend Julian Littman, guitar wizard, composer and member of the folk/ rock band Steeleye Span about reviving the still unpublished book I illustrated to accompany the CD " A Musical Interlude with Mr Edward Lear ", sung by a host of stars with Spike Milligan narrating, all composed and produced by Julian and the , Alas , late Jonathan Hodge, he was intrigued with the idea of the Goblin poem and has now produced a whole suite of songs with the Steeleye band and Jane Milligan.


"Goblin Market Music " will be released as a C.D. now simultaneously with the tarot.
