Set in the late 14th century, the synopsis of "The Earthly Paradise" revolves around a group of Norsemen who flee the Black Death by sailing away from Europe, on the way discovering an island where the inhabitants continue to venerate the ancient Greek gods. It soon gained a cult following and established Morris' reputation as a major poet. Not available for priority/expedited shipping.
