For the young makers among us (and those who love them).-B.K.

This book owes a great debt of gratitude

to Helen Elletson of the William Morris Society,

who took the time to study our pages and help us avoid errors.

We are so grateful to Helen and indeed to the entire society,

which preserves the William Morris legacy.

For my Mother, a lover of beautiful things,

and my precious Jad, Mai, and Richard, who always support me

and have done so through every step of illustrating this book.

Thank you. x-M.S.
