Abstract: Child Christopher and Goldilind the Fair is a fantasy novel by William Morris, perhaps the first modern fantasy writer to unite an imaginary world with an element of the supernatural, and thus the precursor of much of present-day fantasy literature. It was first published in hardcover by Morris' Kelmscott Press in 1895.The novel, with its development of a royal character unaware of their true status, had an influence on C.S. Lewis' Prince Caspian in the Narnia series.Set in the forested land of Oakenrealm, it was Morris' reimagining and recasting of the medieval Lay of Havelock the Dane with the displaced royal heirs Christopher and Goldilind standing in for the original story's Havelock and Goldborough.However, unlike the original, Morris puts more emphasis on the romantic side of the story giving a prominent place to the heroine's misfortunes and bringing to the forefront the love story between her and the hero; the warfare by which the hero regains his heritage is relegated to a secondary role. Also unlike both the source and most of Morris's other fantasies, there is little or no supernatural element in this version of the story.Christopher is initially ignorant of his true identity, leading to an emotional conflict between the protagonists to reconcile their mutual love and attraction with what they believe to be the profound disparity in their social status and shame of their forced marriage. This situation is resolved when the two fall in with Jack of the Tofts, who gives refuge to Christopher after his sons rescue the hero from an assassination attempt by a servant of the usurper Earl Rolf.Jack informs Christopher of his true station and gathers together an army to help him challenge the usurper. When the hosts meet, the commander of Rolf's forces, Baron Gandolf of Brimside, challenges Jack to single combat, but Christopher claims the honor from Jack and proves his worth by defeating the opposing champion.10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charity.=================KEYWORDS/TAGS: Child Christopher, Goldilind the Fair, lay of Havelock, Dane, royalty, Oakenrealm, Goldborough, William Morris, romance, misfortune, knights, warfare, regains, crown, king, queen, love, Jack of the Tofts, refuge, usurper, Earl Rolf, army, challenge, Baron Gandolf, Brimside, single combat, King Of Oakenrealm, Wife And Child, Son, King Of Meadham, Daughter, Maiden Goldilind, Greenharbour, Dreams, Castle, Journey, Wild Wood, Squire Simon, Earl Marshal, Littledale, Abide, A While, May Morning, The Garth, Free, Found, Earl Geoffrey, Wedding, Woodland, Bride-Chamber, Friends, Counsel, Husting, Hosting, Hazeldale, Holm Of Hazeldale, Battle, Holm, Captains, Broadlees, Woodwall, Old Acquaintance, Evil Deed, King Christopher, Dealings, Matters, Meadham,

Abstract: Northanger Abbey is a satire of Gothic novels, which were quite popular at the time, in 1798–99. This coming-of-age story revolves around Catherine Morland, a young and naïve girl. By the age of 17 she is "in training for a heroine" and is excessively fond of reading Gothic novels, among which Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho is a favourite. Catherine entertains the reader on her journey to a better understanding of the world and those around her. In the course of the novel, she discovers that she differs from those other women who crave wealth or social acceptance, as instead she wishes only to have happiness supported by genuine morality.Complete edition with an interactive table of contents.
