The Well at the World's End

The Well at the Worlds End was one of the very first works of its sort; it is an epic romance filled with deceit cunning desire and magic; in other words it is a massive voyage into the strange. It is a vivid fairy tale sans fairies and a gorgeously rich fantasy.

Morris one of the greatest decorative artists who has ever lived narrates his tale of a magical love with a sense of colour pattern and pure imaginative intensity.
