E. R. Eddison. Two Novels, including: Styrbiorn the Strong. New York: Albert & Charles Boni, 1926. Octavo. 256 pages. Publisher's black covers with the front cover illustrated in gilt and the spine lettered in gilt. The publisher's mark is blind-stamped on the back cover. Gray top edge. Some rubbing to the covers, very slightly bumped corners, a small portion of the foot of the spine is missing. Altogether a very good copy. This work by Eric Rucker Eddison (1882 - 1945) was originally published in 1926 by Jonathan Cape in London. This work focuses upon Styrbjörn the Strong (died c. 984), the son of the Swedish King Olof and the nephew of the co-ruler and Olof's successor Eric the Victorious. [and:] The Worm Ouroboros. A Romance by E. R. Eddison, Illustrated by Keith Henderson. With an Introduction by Orville Prescott. New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1952. First Edition. Octavo. xviii, 445 pages. Six illustrations including the frontispiece. Publisher's dark red cloth covers with an illustration in gilt on the front cover, and the spine lettered and elegantly ruled in gilt. Dust jacket in red, black, and white with reviews of the work prominently featured on the front of the jacket. The jacket was printed upside down. Very minor rubbing to the jacket, some sunning to the spine. Altogether a very good copy. This high fantasy novel was originally published by Jonathan Cape in London in 1922, and has enjoyed several reprints since the initial release. Slightly reminiscent of Norse sagas, this work creates an imaginary medieval world where King Gorice of Witchland and the Lords of Demonland are pitted against each other in a destructive war.Auction Info
