The Well at the World's End is a high fantasy novel by the British artist, poet, and author William Morris. It was first published in 1896 and has been reprinted a number of times since. Using language with elements of the medieval tales which were his models, Morris tells the story of Peter, King of Upmeads, and his four sons, Blaise, Hugh, Gregory, and Ralph. These four sons decide one day that they would like to explore the world, so their father gives them permission. From that point on, the plot centers on the youngest son, Ralph. Ralph's adventures begins at Bourton Abbas, after which he goes through the Wood Perilous. The novel was praised by H. G. Wells, and had a significant influence on many notable fantasy authors such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien.
