About this book
William Morris pairs two short medieval-themed works: "A Dream of John Ball," a time-travel vision of the 1381 English Peasants' Revolt, and "A King's Lesson," a fable about a ruler confronting peasant labour. Readers interested in Victorian socialism, medieval history, or Morris's writing will find it worthwhile.
