The Sundering Flood, among the last of Morris's works, was published in 1897, after his death. The beautifulprose and rich use of language are typical of Morrisand fill the reader with a sense of awe and wonder.
The ôfloodö of the title is nothing less than a river,metaphorically as well as literally dividing two lovers.And there is fantasy, too: dwarf folk, a magic sword,and an ageless warrior to mentor the hero. All told,a delightful story certain to appeal to all lovers ofclassic fantasy.
ôC.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien both acknowledged theinfluence of William Morris.ö
