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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.04 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 04, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537478578483,"sku":"9781587156427","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Vk05VjJjSmNiV0hMcm5oQlJHaW8vZz09.webp?v=1760810314","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-house-of-the-wolfings-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
