Synopsis

THE WORM OUROBOROS is a fantasy fully as rich and strange at J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." This majestic romance is an enduring masterpiece. Here are battles on sea and land, perilous journeys, base treacheries and mighty deeds. We who live in a far more prosaic but no less dangerous world should rejoice at the opportunity to venture into many-mountained Demonland and to penetrate the sinister fortress of Gorice XIL.

...This re-publication of The Worm Ouroboros is a literary event of the first importance.

About the Author

Eddison's books are written in a meticulously recreated Jacobean prose style, seeded throughout with fragments, often acknowledged but often directly copied from his favorite authors and genres: Homer and Sappho, Shakespeare and Webster, Norse sagas and French medieval lyric poems. Critic Andy Sawyer has noted that such fragments seem to arise naturally from the "barbarically sophisticated" worlds Eddison has created.
