{"product_id":"the-house-of-the-wolfings-9781587156427","title":"The House of the Wolfings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first of William Morris's great fantastic romances is a translation of the old Norse saga, \u003cem\u003eThe House of the Wolfings\u003c\/em\u003e. Of this tale, \u003cem\u003eThe Encyclodedia of Fantasy \u003c\/em\u003ewrote: \"The first step toward the characteristic large-scale fantasies which have had such influence on the genre . . . is \u003cem\u003eThe House of the Wolfings\u003c\/em\u003e. Here the setting is quasi-historical: a European Saxon community is resisting the decadent advances of late Imperial Rome. The romantic-supernatural story contains a large admixture of verse.\" Indeed, Morris's chief contribution to the book is his beautiful prose and poetry, for his version of the story is actually a collaboration with Norse scholar Eirikr Magnusson, who provided a literal translation of the original text, which Morris then reset as prose and poetry. Morris's version of \u003cem\u003eThe House of the Wolfings \u003c\/em\u003ehas influenced generations of writers, including J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and countless hundreds more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Borgo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50357201305874,"sku":"9781587156427","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6ec45634-8ded-4a4f-bdf9-052f3f5fe598.jpg?v=1728320558","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-house-of-the-wolfings-9781587156427","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
