Ursula K. Le Guin groups Kenneth Morris with JRR Tolkien and ER Eddison as one of the three \u201cmasters stylists\u201d of the 20th century. Morris is the author who first brought Celtic mythology into the contemporary fantasy scene, but his work ranged throughout all the world's mythologies as he retold powerful fantastic tales from the past in light and delicate prose.
\nBased on Aztec history and mythology and set long before the coming of the Spanish invaders, The Chalchiuhite Dragon recounts the rise of the greatest of all the philosopher kings of the Aztecs. Rich in wonderfully woven character and detail, this novel is a lost classic of fantasy fiction, on a par with The Book of Merlyn by TH White.<\/p>\n
Kenneth Morris, who died in 1937, was a Welsh poet and writer who lived for thirty years in Point Loma, CA and was very active in Theosophy, writing for and editing many Theosophical publications. His books, The Fate of the Princess of Dyfed, Book of the Three Dragons, and The Secret Mountain and Other Stories helped set the tone for all the fantasy that followed.<\/p>\n
