Introduzione al libro

The Well at the World’s End

The Well at the World’s End follows Ralph of Upmeads through courts, roads, forests, battles, and enchanted landscapes in search of a legendary source of renewal. Morris’s romance helped shape modern fantasy with its invented geography, archaic diction, and quest structure.
