About the book: 2021 / The publication continues to introduce readers to the literary heritage of William Morris. The great writer drew inspiration from British history and ancient European epic. “The Tale of the Luxurious and Alluring Plain” and “The Forest Beyond the World” are brilliant pastiches, reminiscent of classic British and Germanic sagas and the best examples of medieval romance. At the same time, Morris’s unique texts are considered to be the first major works in the fantasy genre. The works are published for the first time in a brilliant translation by Yuri Sokolov.
