Author: first_name: William

Language: English
Year: 1894

<i>The Wood beyond the World</i> is a fantasy novel by William Morris, perhaps the first modern fantasy writer to unite an imaginary world with the element of the supernatural, and thus the precursor of much of present-day fantasy literature. His use of archaic language has been seen by some modern readers as making his fiction difficult to read, but brings a wonderful atmosphere to the telling.<br /><br />Morris considered his fantasies a revival of the medieval tradition of chivalrous romances
