William de Morgan (1839-1917), a lifelong friend of William Morris, was an English potter and tile designer. He designed tiles, stained glass, and furniture for Morris & Co. from 1863 to 1972. He later turned his attention to writing novels, and became better known for his novels than he had been for his pottery.

A supernatural novel with ghosts and mystery.
