The Well at the World's End
By: William Morris

This is a beautiful story, a rich fantasy, a vibrant fairy-tale with no fairies. Strictly speaking, as regards genre, it is a 'romance'. The chivalric, bardic story of Ralph of Upmeads, the least likely of the King's four sons, who devotes his life to the quest of the Well at The World's End, a fabled well which promises to reward its discoverer with perpetual youth.
Morris' calm mastery of invention is like a slow intoxication, lifting you up one deceptively simple phrase at a time, until you are passed through his stained glass window of clear prose and a fresh new world is revealed, full of bloodshed and beauty. One comes to realize this book was not meant as mere allegory or escapist adventure, but as a True Quest, with nuggets of eternity scattered throughout, and a great Sunrise welling up in the near distance

This web site is dedicated to Mr. Maltie Sassaman, my fourth grade teacher. When I entered his class I could not read. When I left his class at the end of the school year I was reading at a sixth grade level and I haven't stopped reading since. Were it not for Mr. Sassaman, this page would not exist.
