The Story of the Glittering Plain, one of Morris' many fantasy novels,?was first published in 1891. Along with earlier fantasies like The House of the Wolfings and The Roots of the Mountains, this volume provided inspiration for the modern fantasy tales of today. This volume recounts the quest of Hallblithe, a member of the House of the Raven. Wishing to rescue his lover, referred to only as Hostage, Hallblithe journeys to the Land of the Glittering Plain to battle the pirates that have kidnapped her, encountering the immortal inhabitants of the land along the way. This 1894 volume is a stunning, ornately adorned Kelmscott edition of the work.
