"In The Wood Beyond the World, a sea voyage separates the more fantastic realms from the hero Walter's mundane home town, though the land of the Wood sends visions even there--of the land's witchy Mistress, her enslaved Maid, and a hideous, savagely energetic dwarf servitor. . . . Walter defies all advice and reason, abandons his fellows, and sets off through mountains and wastes to the Wood where he can meet the mysterious three . . . the stage is set for triangular games of love and power." -- David Langford "C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien both acknowledged the influence of william morris." -- The Encyclopedia of Fantasy "No mountains in literature are as far away as the distant mountains of Morris." -- C.S. Lewis "With his epochal novels of the 1880s, william morris established the tradition of the tale set in a completely imaginary world of the author's own invention." -- Lin Carter
