Autumn （Triquetra Reviews） ，

Thank you to the publisher for a free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review。 This was a beautiful book， but I find that I still don't know who William Morris is， or why he's historically significant。 I can tell that this is a non-fiction work， but as I have no prior knowledge of who William Morris is， this doesn't really help me appreciate who he is and what's he's contributed， or why those contributions are important historically。 Thank you to the publisher for a free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review。 This was a beautiful book， but I find that I still don't know who William Morris is， or why he's historically significant。 I can tell that this is a non-fiction work， but as I have no prior knowledge of who William Morris is， this doesn't really help me appreciate who he is and what's he's contributed， or why those contributions are important historically。 。。。more

Ms。 Yingling ，

E ARC provided by EdelweissThis is a very pretty book， but it was very vague about the details of Morris's life and work。 This would be fine for an elementary school， but for middle school， I wanted more details， especially about the times in which Morris lived， and about how poorer people at that time would have obtained household goods。 E ARC provided by EdelweissThis is a very pretty book， but it was very vague about the details of Morris's life and work。 This would be fine for an elementary school， but for middle school， I wanted more details， especially about the times in which Morris lived， and about how poorer people at that time would have obtained household goods。 。。。more

I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss。

Many people know William Morris by his impact on the design world， but they do not know the story of how he became a worldwide known name。 By creating patterned designs on wallpapers， tapestries， and other mass-produced products in factories， he was using the technology of the time to grow his brand。 His influences from traveling and the development of art techniques produced books and more exquisite designs。
