Description:First Edition, first issue (publisher's name across base of...First Edition, first issue (publisher's name across base of spine above ruled lines). 8vo. Publisher's original gilt titled and decorated dark blue cloth slightly bumped to extremities and with some light shelwear nevertheless a distinguished and handsome copy, lacking its scarce dustwrapper. Light browning to prelims, with a neat ink ownership to front flyleaf. Topedge dusty all others untrimmed. Internally clean, a most stylish production from Cape with bold illustrations and decorations by Keith Henderson in a style rather reminiscent of Kay Neilsen. Laid in at the front is a letter from a representative of Faber and Faber to Mr. Malcolm Ferguson (all round Delphic Oracle of the odd) in 1949 bemoaning the fact that they had remarkably little information on Mr. Eddison and suggesting that he enquire from Jonathan Cape. An interesting and slightly troublesome fantasy whose protagonists are mostly unlikeable (mainly due to their overweening arrogance and zeal for carnage) yet are still so vividly rendered as to render them strangely compelling. Protected by a custom made leather spined clamshell case. 'Eric Rücker Eddison (November 24, 1882-August 18, 1945) was an English civil servant and author, writing under the name "E.R. Eddison." He is best known for his early romance The Worm Ouroboros (1922) and his three volumes set in the imaginary world Zimiamvia, known as the Zimiamvian Trilogy: Mistress of Mistresses (1935), A Fish Dinner in Memison (1941), and The Mezentian Gate (1958). These early works of high fantasy drew strong praise from J. R. R. Tolkien (see especially Letter 199 in the collected letters), C. S. Lewis (see the Tribute to E. R. Eddison in On Stories and Other Essays on Literature), and Ursula Le Guin (see the essay "From Elfland to Poughkeepsie" in The Language of the Night). Privately Tolkien found the underlying philosophy rebarbative, and clashed with Eddison at their sole meeting, who in return thought Tolkien's views "soft". They are written in a meticulously recreated Jacobean prose style, seeded throughout with fragments, often acknowledged but often frankly stolen, from his favorite authors and genres: Homer and Sappho, Shakespeare and Webster, Norse Saga and French medieval lyric.

Buy this book! Although practically no one has heard of it, it is fantastic. Eddison was a student of Medieval literature and his story follows the style of the old Norse saga. After a hundred pages you will say, ?This is a mavelous adventure story.? After two hundred pages you will say, ?These ...

The story starts off by a man named Lessingham from earth who is taken to mercury.
Strangely though he quickly drops out the the picture by the time the story gets under way, and is on mention one other time later in the story.
The real meat of the book is of the conquest of lands, uses of magic, and ...
