Description

In "The Wood Beyond the World," William Morris crafts a captivating tale of adventure and enchantment. Walter, a disenchanted young man, embarks on a voyage that leads him to a mystical land beyond comprehension. There, he encounters a beguiling Lady, a sinister King, and a mysterious Maid, entwining him in their magical intrigues. As Walter navigates this fantastical realm, Morris explores themes of love, destiny, and the eternal struggle between freedom and tyranny.

Author

William Morris (1834–1896) was poet, designer, craftsman, and socialist — a founder of the Arts and Crafts movement who also helped invent modern fantasy. News from Nowhere imagined a just England; The Well at the World's End and The Wood Beyond the World sent readers into quests of language as rich as tapestry. Morris wanted beauty in daily things and stories that felt handmade.
