About the Author:

ERIC RUCKER EDDISONwas born in Adel, England, in 1882. His parents encouraged his spirited imagination. Boyhood days spent reading and adventuring in the northern English countryside with his constant companion, Arthur Ransome, provided rich material for his novels. Eddison was twice honoured, receiving the Order of St. Michael and St. George (1924) and the Order of the Bath (1929) for public service with the Board of Trade. His writings include the first complete translation of the Icelandic epic,Egil's Saga; the novelsThe Worm OroborosandStybiorn the Strong; and the trilogy Zimiamvia, includingMistress of Mistresses,A Fish Dinner in Memison, and the final book,The Mezentian Gate, which was left unfinished when he died suddenly of a heart attack in 1945.

Review:
`The greatest and most convincing writer of invented worlds that I have read.' - J.R.R. Tolkien `A new literary species, a new rhetoric, a new climate of the imagination. Every episode, every speech, helps to incarnate what the author is imagining.' - C.S. Lewis `An eccentric masterpiece. Eddison is unequalled in the vigour, the vividness, the passionate intensity of his imagining, the brooding sadness that underlies it, and the cockeyed magnificence of his language.' - Ursula K. Le Guin `A fantasy epic written in a lush, thick, cod-Elizabethan style that started off irritating and then became part of the fun.' - Neil Gaiman `The greatest high fantasy of them all.' - Robert Silverberg `A grand fantasy adventure.' - Piers Anthony `Authentic dream, fantastic far beyond invention and natural beyond all possibility of unbelief.' - Arthur Ransome `A romance of a world that never was ... its landscapes are magnificent. One lives in it.' - Hilaire Belloc

The first volume in the classic epic trilogy of parallel worlds, admired by Tolkien and the great prototype for The Lord of the Rings and modern fantasy fiction.

Here they forever live, love, do battle, and even die again.Edward Lessingham artist, poet, king of men and lover of women is dead. But from Aphrodite herself, the Mistress of Mistresses, he has earned the promise to live again with the gods in Zimiamvia in return for her own perilous future favours.This sequel to The Worm Ouroboros recounts the story of Lessinghams first day in this strange Valhalla, where a lifetime is a day and where among enemies, enchantments, guile and triumph his destiny can be rewritten. The first volume in the classic epic trilogy of parallel worlds, admired by Tolkien and the great prototype for The Lord of the Rings and modern fantasy fiction.
