Synopsis

William Morris was a Renaissance Man who left interesting marks across a variety of fields -- he was an artist, a philosopher, a politician, a utopian fantasist, and, as this wonderful tale will demonstrate, a man with the capacity for romance on an epic scale. "The Well at the World's End" was among the very first of its kind -- it is an epic romance made of duplicity, machination, passion, wizardry, and is, in short, a vast odyssey into the weird. It is a beautifully rich fantasy, a vibrant fairytale without fairies.

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. He sets out in search of the Well at World's End, which grants near-immortality and a heightened sense of destiny.
