A poet, master of design and all-around Renaissance man of the 19th century, William Morris also had a serious interest in the medieval Icelandic sagas. This book is a record of a six-week journey to Iceland, brimming with lyrical descriptions of the landscape and scattered with references to the sagas. Based on this enchanting record, the out-of-shape poet seems to have had the adventure of his life.  (ICE01, $32.95)
