Fiction · 1895
Child Christopher and Goldilind the Fair
Christopher, the rightful boy-king of Oakenrealm, is driven from his throne by treacherous regents and grows up in hiding among woodland outlaws, while Goldilind, heir to the neighboring kingdom of Meadham, is held captive by her own guardians until the two king's-children's fates converge in the greenwood.
William Morris published the romance in 1895, one of his prose romances written in the last years of his life.
