William Morris
Excerpt from William Morris: His Work and Influence IT would be impossible to write any book about, William Morris without making use of Mr. Mackail's life of him. My object in this book has not been to write a shorter life of Morris, but to explain his importance to his own time and to ours. I have been, however, under many obligations to Mr. Mackail, which I gratefully acknowledge. I have also made use of Miss May Morris's introduction to the collected edition of her father's works, for which I have to thank her; and I am indebted to Lady Burne Jones's life of her husband for a few facts and for more general impressions.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz
The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist and the woman he loved. Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies' man. He is also a Jew. On the first transport of men from Slovakia to Auschwitz in 1942, Lale immediately stands out to his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked out for, and put to work in the privileged position of Tatowierer - the tattooist - to mark his fellow prisoners, forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita, who steals his heart at first glance. His life given new purpose, Lale does his best through the struggle and suffering to use his position for good. This story, full of beauty and hope, is based on years of interviews author Heather Morris conducted with real-life Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. It is heart-wrenching, illuminating, and unforgettable. 'Morris climbs into the dark miasma of war and emerges with an extraordinary tale of the power of love' - Leah Kaminsky

The Art of William Morris
Excerpt from The Art of William Morris: A Record Hough it was not my intention to write a preface, circumstances have made it necessary that I should do so. In the first place I wish it to be noticed that I chose purposely to call my book The Art of William Morris so as to show that it makes no claim to be a biography nor a record of any of his private and family affairs. Such a work I was neither asked nor authorized to write. It is true, of course, that I had the privilege of knowing the late Mr. Morris personally - from the year 1883 onwards until his death. At the same time I submit that, with two Or three very trifling exceptions, I have not introduced into the book any details of his ...
