William Morris was a Renaissance Man who left interesting marks across a variety of fields — he was an artist, a philosopher, a politician, a utopian fantasist, and, as this wonderful tale will demonstrate, a man with the capacity for romance on an epic scale. The Well at the World's End was among the very first of its kind — it is an epic romance made of duplicity, machination, passion, wizardry, and is, in short, a vast odyssey into the weird. It is a beautifully rich fantasy, a vibrant fairytale without fairies.
