Burgundy cloth. 382 pp., plus a 36 page tribute to William Morris and 6 pages of ads in the rear. One page of ads in the front. The 3rd part of this four-part epic poem by William Morris, that follows the wanderings of a medieval group in search of immortality. Morris was a British author and activist, as well as a publisher noted for his fine printing done by his Kelmscott Press, and is often associated with the Pre-Raphaelites and later, the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain. GOOD condition. Moderate to heavy fading, mostly along the spine. Moderate scuffing and minor soiling. Cloth frayed and split along the top one inch of the upper rear hinge, with some pulling and fraying to the spine tips. Text block browned in the interior.
