Using language with elements of the medieval tales which were his
models, Morris tells the story of Ralph of Upmeads, the fourth and
youngest son of a minor king, who sets out, contrary to his
parents' wishes, to find knightly adventure and seek the Well at
the World's End, a magic well which will confer a near-immortality
and strengthened destiny on those who drink from it.Although the
novel is relatively obscure by today's standards it has had a
significant influence on many notable fantasy authors. C. S. Lewis
and J. R. R. Tolkien both seem to have found inspiration in The
Well at the World's End: ancient tables of stone, a "King Peter", a
quick, white horse named "Silverfax", and a character named
"Gandalf" are only a few, to say nothing of Ralph's journey home as
denouement, anticipating the Hobbits' return and battle for the
Shire.
