The Well at the World's End is a fantasy novel by the British artist poet and author William
Morris. This book has a strong influence on other fantasy including Tolkien's Lord of The
Rings. The book tells about Ralph the youngest son of a minor King who runs away from his home
to seek a mysterious well which waters give strength youth and immortality. Yet as it often
happens the best part of a story is the travel itself: on the way to the cherished well Ralf
learns about life and sees the real good and evil.
