Description
This pioneering work of the fantasy genre invites readers on an epic quest brimming with magic, mystery, and romance.
Set in an intricate medieval world, the novel follows the young hero Ralph of Upmeads as he embarks on a perilous journey to find the fabled Well at the World's End, a source of eternal life and wisdom. Morris, a key figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, interweaves rich, descriptive prose with themes of adventure, self-discovery, and the timeless struggle between good and evil. His visionary creation predates and influences later high fantasy literature, offering a mesmerizing blend of chivalric romance and mythical elements.
This enchanting tale is not only a cornerstone of fantasy literature but also a reflection on the enduring human quest for meaning and the transformative power of journeying into the unknown.
