My current reading material -The Story of the Glittering Plain or the Land of Living Men by William Morris. Reminds me a bit of Beowulf and other Icelandic sagas in theme/style, beautifully illustrated by Walter Crane. I also have another work - The Wood Beyond the World that I may read next. All books should be this lovely! Of course, I'd love to have original Kelmscott Press editions:)
OMGosh! That looks fabulous! Thank's for posting.
ReplyDeleteLDahl - It is indeed a thing of beauty and I'm enjoying the story too.
