William Morris keeps coming up in recommendations. Where would people start with their books?

Sinead, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

The wood beyond the world is one I am weighing up. Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.

Darragh, a book-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

For anyone considering The wood beyond the world: The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.
