William Morris

The Well at the World's End, written by William Morris in 1896, is one of the earliest examples of a fully realized fictional fantasy world. The story follows Ralph, a young prince who defies his father's wishes to embark on an adventure in search of the legendary Well at World's End, believed to grant eternal youth. This novel has significantly influenced later fantasy authors, including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, marking its importance in the genre's development.
