William Morris and the Pattern of Nature is one of a range of history of design and decoration books by John Hopper. This book in particular takes a look at the work of Morris and it's intrinsic connection with the natural world. Using quotes from Morris himself as well as a full range of colour imagery of patternwork across his forty year career.

Excellent idea, writing this book. I would particularly like to see the transformation from natural observation to stylised pattern work. Sometimes it is perfectly clear, just from looking at the patterns; other times it is not.
