"In The Wood Beyond the World, a sea voyage separates the more fantastic realms from the hero Walter's mundane home town, though the land of the Wood sends visions even there--of the land's witchy Mistress, her enslaved Maid, and a hideous, savagely energetic dwarf servitor. . . . Walter defies all advice and reason, abandons his fellows, and sets off through mountains and wastes to the Wood where he can meet the mysterious three . . . the stage is set for triangular games of love and power."
-- David Langford

"C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien both acknowledged the influence of William Morris."
-- The Encyclopedia of Fantasy

"No mountains in literature are as fara way as the distant mountains of Morris."
-- C.S. Lewis

"With his epochal novels of the 1880s, William Morris established the tradition of the tale set in a completely imaginary world of the author's own invention."
-- Lin Carter
