Inhaltsangabe

This early work on farming is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details the experiences of a man setting up an independent farm and the challenges he faces. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the skills of agriculture. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

In addition to designing textiles, such as wallpaper and stained glass, William Morris is credited with being the progenitor of modern fantasy. He was an outspoken proponent of socialism and vastly contributed to the revival of traditional British textile arts and methods of production. His love of medieval art and literature is exemplified in his poetry and works of romantic fantasy. Along with designing decorative fonts for publication, he also produced translations of the Icelandic Sagas, and his was one of the first modern-English translations of Beowulf. While authors before him wrote fantastical tales, these were all set in dream worlds, the future, or foreign lands. Morris set multiple novels in entirely fictionalized lands, which he invented. He wrote in the style of medieval romances, and was influential for later fantasy writers, such as J.R.R. Tolkien.
