Editorial Reviews

Review

"Richard Mathews's coverage of Morris's work is both exhaustive and entertaining. Details of Morris's life are entwined within complete analyses of his early stories and later novels. They are studied in the context of their day, and help give a far better understanding of the man and his work." -- BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER
