When William Morris founded the Kelmscott Press in 1890, he set out to create books as intricately beautiful as hand-copied tomes of the Middle Ages. But few could ever afford his volumes. THE WOOD BEYOND THE WORLD is more than a beautiful reproduction, it is also one of the finest of Morris's celebrated prose romances.

About the author

Polymath William Morris (1834-96) was a prolific writer of novels and essays as well as a translator of medieval texts. Although best known in his lifetime as a poet, Morris is chiefly remembered today for his designs, which he issued from his highly successful decorative arts firm. He also founded the Kelmscott Press, which he dedicated to the hand-printing of a select number of beautiful books.
