The Worm Ouroboros

The book that set the stage for Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’, ‘The Worm Ouroboros’ tells a sweeping tale of political — and mystical — battles between heroic warriors, witches on crooked mountaintops and the ocean’s darkest depths. Interlaced with brewing romances and devilish trickery, The Lords of Demonland go head-to-head with the Lords of Witchland in one epic fantasy. Crafted with expert language, Eddison provides a reading experience like no other. ‘The Worm Ouroboros’ is ideal for fantasy fans of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’.

Erick Rücker Eddison, CB, CMG (1882–1945) was an English civil servant and widely celebrated author of epic fantasy novels. Spanning ‘The Worm Ouroboros’ and ‘Zimiamvia Trilogy’, his work crafted fantastical, mythical lands using meticulously created Jacobean prose. Tolkien in particular praised ‘The Worm Ouroboros’ as inspiration for his ‘The Lord of the Rings’ series. Eddison remains an influential pioneer of the fantasy genre.
