Revised edition of the bestselling backlist title. William Morris was an outstanding character of many talents, being an architect, writer, social campaigner, artist and, with his Kelmscott Press, an important figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Many of us probably know him best, however, from his superb furnishings and textile designs, intricately weaving together natural motifs in a highly stylized two-dimensional fashion influenced by medieval conventions. Following on from the bestselling success of Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Alphonse Mucha, of the same series, this delightful new book offers a survey of his life and work alongside some of his finest decorative work. It is a richly beautiful book.

A swashbuckling tale of adventure and intrigue, suspense and romance, clues that could lead to one man's fortune and glory or his untimely demise. Carthos Corvantes is a normal treasure hunter, but when a family legend leads him to discover a book with power beyond his grasp, a series of events occur that could change his life. Just when he thinks he can settle down with his family in the heart of New York City, he is prompted to go on a voyage that will change his life. From pirates, to angry natives, to walking below the Atlantic Ocean, Carthos will do it all. But will he be the hero of the story, and if so, will he live to tell the tale?
