Autorenporträt

Eric Rücker Eddison (1882-1945) was an English civil servant and author, writing epic fantasy novels under the name E. R. Eddison. His notable works include The Worm Ouroboros and the Zimiamvian Trilogy. His early works of high fantasy drew strong praise from J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis. The Zimiamvia books were conceived not as a trilogy but as part of a larger work left incomplete at Eddison's death.
