The Well at the World's End was among the very first of its kind - it is an epic romance of duplicity machination passion and wizardry and is in short a vast odyssey into the weird. It is a beautifully rich fantasy a vibrant fairy tale without fairies. It is the most entrancing of William Morris's late romances - part futuristic fantasy novel part old-fashioned fairy tale. Morris writes his magic love story with a sense of color and pattern and the sheer imaginative fervor of one of the most brilliant decorative artists that has ever lived. A Classic fantasy novel!
