From the back cover: Little more than a yar before his death, Morris issued the only edition he ever published of this rare tale, in two small volumes from his Kelmscott Press. Set in the idealized medievel world of Morris' fertile imagination, the story of the perilous adventures of the stalwart boy-king Christopher and the beautiful girl-queen Goldilind is filled with courage and treachery, great battles and an even greter love. Newcastle is proud to present for a new generation of fantasy lovers a acsimile of the rare 1900 Thomas B. Mosher edition, the first new American edition in 77 years.
The fantasy romances of William Morris were a source behind the writings of JRR Tolkien and C S Lewis.
Tight book with light wear. Page edges are a bit dingy. The interior is very clean with cream-colored pages. Pictures are of the actual book offered. Please ask if you have any questions. Note: This book was part of the collection of Bernie Zuber, co-author of the Tolkien Quiz Book, who died in 2005.
