Description

The Well at the World’s End is William Morris's epic fantasy that follows the journey of Ralph, the youngest son of King Peter of Upmeads. Yearning for adventure, Ralph embarks on a quest to find the mythical Well at the World's End, believed to grant immortality. The novel is rich with medieval imagery, chivalric ideals, and a deep sense of romanticism. Morris's work is considered a precursor to modern fantasy literature, influencing authors like J.R.R. Tolkien with its intricate world-building and themes of heroism and self-discovery.
