News From Nowhere; A Dream Of John Ball; A King�������s Lesson is a collection of three works by William Morris, a prominent English writer and socialist activist of the late 19th century. The first work, News From Nowhere, is a utopian novel set in a future society where the principles of socialism have been fully realized. The story follows the protagonist, William Guest, as he wakes up in this new world and explores its customs, values, and way of life.The second work, A Dream Of John Ball, is a historical fantasy that imagines a conversation between the author and John Ball, a 14th-century English priest and leader of the Peasants’ Revolt. The conversation revolves around the themes of social justice and the struggle for equality, and serves as a critique of the class system and the exploitation of the working class.The third work, A King�������s Lesson, is a short story that tells the tale of a king who learns an important lesson about the true nature of power and leadership. The story is a parable about the importance of humility, wisdom, and compassion in governance.Together, these three works showcase Morris’s vision of a better society, one that is based on the principles of social justice, equality, and cooperation. They also reflect his belief in the power of imagination and storytelling as tools for social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
