Story of the Glittering Plain

Story of the Glittering Plain
The Story of the Glittering Plain, written by William Morris and first published in 1890, is an early work of modern high fantasy. The narrative follows Hallblithe, a warrior from the House of Raven, as he embarks on a quest to rescue his kidnapped fiancée, the Hostage. Along the way, he navigates challenges including the temptation of eternal youth and the allure of the King's daughter. This tale was re-published in 1973 as part of the Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library and is notable for its rich illustrations by Walter Crane in the 1891 Kelmscott Press edition.
