Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Very Good+. 2nd Printing. 2nd printing thus. (priced at 1.25) This is a mass market paperback book. The book is in Very Good+ condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book covers are clean and bright. The text pages are mostly clean and bright, but have some light, generalized toning. "Eddison's…books are written in a meticulously recreated Jacobean prose style, seeded throughout with fragments, often acknowledged but often directly copied from his favorite authors and genres: Homer and Sappho, Shakespeare and Webster, Norse sagas and French medieval lyric poems. Critic Andy Sawyer has noted that such fragments seem to arise naturally from the "barbarically sophisticated" worlds Eddison has created. [11] The books exhibit a thoroughly aristocratic sensibility; heroes and villains alike maintain an Olympian indifference to convention. Fellow fantasy author Michael Moorcock wrote that Eddison's characters, particularly his villains, are more vivid than Tolkien's." (from Wikipedia).
