A Dream of John Ball and A King's Lesson (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by William Morris

Overview

This 1888 novel about the English Peasant's Revolt of 1381 and its leader, John Ball, is not historical fiction; rather, it is a time-travel fantasy in which the modern and medieval worlds collide.  Morris casts the medieval realm in a golden, almost utopian light.
