The Hollow Land

Description of book

The Hollow Land by William Morris follows the adventure of Florian, who must travel to a supernatural realm called the Hollow Land. Excerpt: "Do you know where it is -- the Hollow Land? I have been looking for it now for so long, trying to find it again the Hollow Land for there I saw my love first. I wish to tell you how I found it first of all, but I am old, and my memory fails me: you must wait and let me think if I perchance can tell you how it happened. Yea, in my ears, is a confused noise of trumpet blasts singing over desolate moors, in my ears and eyes a clashing and clanging of horse hoofs, a ringing and glittering of steel; drawn-back lips, set teeth, shouts, shrieks, and curses."
