The Wood Beyond the World: Annotated Version with Foreword by Paul Di Filippo

For lovers of A Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings, comes a book that pioneered the fantasy genre.

Published in 1894, The Wood Beyond the World is considered one of the first modern fantasy novels, combining a mystical world and supernatural elements.

For Golden Walter, reality only means heartbreak and conflict. He journeys beyond the edge of the world to find monstrous creatures, mysterious and powerful women, and deadly sexual tension.

Will Walter succumb to the seduction of the fickle but striking Lady or heed the warnings of her servant, the Maid, who holds her own secret magic?

William Morris brings us a world full of betrayal, magic, power, and love.
