'A Dream of John Ball' and 'A King's Lesson' by Wiliam Morris, Fiction, Classics, Literary, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology

*

John Ball encounters strangeness after strangeness, waking from his modern-day slumber . . . to find himself beside a quiet country road, garbed in an old-fashioned cloak, watching a horseback knight in armor passing by. He walks into a village where the buildings are all hand-fashioned -- with stone-dust from the building of the church still fresh upon the sward. He has been transported centuries into the past!

The struggle against tyranny, and the goodness of life in the wildwood and the heath -- these are among the themes threaded into this embroidered tapestry of a romance, from the pen of England's master artist and poet, William Morris.

Also included in this volume is William Morris's classic, "A King's Lesson."
