Book Overview

by E. R. Eddison (Author)

A poignant memoir and tribute to the Oxford poet Nairn
by the author who went on to create The Worm Ouroboros
and the groundbreaking Zimiamvia fantasy trilogy.

Eric Rucker Eddison's first book, originally published privately in hardback during the First World War, is a poignant memoir and tribute to the Oxford poet Philip Sidney Fletcher Nairn, whose work was so inspired by his Scottish ancestry, life in the Lake District, and his subsequent travels across Asia.

This first official paperback edition includes a poignant and evocative biography, a dozen photographs, and more than 50 of Nairn's poems, and marks the centenary of his untimely death in Kuala Lumpur in May 1914, aged just 30 years old.

About E. R. Eddison

Eric Rucker Eddison was 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 novels The Worm Oroboros and Stybiorn the Strong; and the trilogy Zimiamvia, including Mistress of Mistresses, A Fish Dinner in Memison, and the final book, The Mezentian Gate, which was left unfinished when he died suddenly of a stroke in 1945.
