Erick RĆ¼cker Eddison, CB, CMG (1882-1945) was an English civil servant and widely celebrated author of epic fantasy novels. Spanning āThe Worm Ouroborosā and āZimiamvia Trilogyā, his work crafted fantastical, mythical lands using meticulously created Jacobean prose. Tolkien in particular praised āThe Worm Ouroborosā as inspiration for his āThe Lord of the Ringsā series. Eddison remains an influential pioneer of the fantasy genre.
