Publisher's Synopsis

""The Roots of the Mountains"" is a novel by William Morris that tells the story of the men of Burgdale, their friends, neighbors, foes, and fellow warriors. The book is set in a fictional world where small communities are fiercely independent and frequently engage in battles with each other. The story follows the lives of the people of Burgdale, their customs, beliefs, and struggles. The main characters are two young men, Hallblithe and Eric, who become friends despite their different backgrounds. They both fall in love with the same woman, the beautiful and strong-willed Vala, who must choose between them. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, honor, and the importance of community. Morris's writing style is poetic and evocative, and he creates a vivid and immersive world that transports the reader to a different time and place. Overall, ""The Roots of the Mountains"" is a timeless tale of human relationships and the struggles of life in a harsh and unforgiving world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
