The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison
b'This is an audiobook of The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison, narrated by Jason Mills.
It\\u2019s not easy writing a high fantasy classic. Your competition is immense. You\\u2019ve got J. R. R. Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Terry Pratchett, C. S. Lewis, and so many more it\\u2019s impossible to make a dent, even with a long list. But in the top echelons, there\\u2019s another name \\u2013 E. R. Eddison, author of The Worm Ouroboros.
Eddison was different from Tolkien in some important ways, though. For one, Tolkien placed a heavy premium on the linguistic aspects of his created world. His names had meaning, and the overall legendarium is steeped in mythology. In contrast, E. R. Eddison had begun thinking up The Worm Ouroboros while he was a pre-teen child. He imagined some of the story, the characters, and the setting then \\u2013 and seemed to have kept parts of it. This is especially notable in the names for some of his characters: Lord Spitfire, La Fireez, Fax Fay Faz, Goldry Bluszco, etc.
