The House of the Wolfings is a novel written by William Morris, first published in 1889. It is set in a fictional world that is inspired by ancient Germanic mythology and folklore. The story follows the Wolfings, a tribe of people who live in a remote forest and are fiercely independent. They are threatened by the invading Romans, who seek to conquer their land and enslave their people. The main character of the story is Thiodolf, a young warrior who is chosen to lead his people in battle against the Romans. He is a brave and noble leader who is willing to risk everything to protect his tribe. Along the way, he falls in love with a woman named Wood Sun, who is also a warrior and a leader among her people. The House of the Wolfings is a tale of heroism, love, and sacrifice. It is a story about a people who are willing to fight for their freedom and their way of life. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of nature and its use of archaic language, which gives it a timeless quality. It is a classic work of fantasy that has influenced many other writers in the genre.Within under the Hall-Sun, amidst the woven stories of time past, sat the elders and chief warriors on the dais, and amidst of all a big strong man of forty winters, his dark beard a little grizzled, his eyes big and grey. Before him on the board lay the great War-horn of the Wolfings carved out of the tusk of a sea-whale of the North and with many devices on it and the Wolf amidst them all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
