Eric Rucker Eddison was a British civil servant writing as E. R. Eddison. His principal work was the Zimiamvia cycle, including The Worm Ouroborous, and a trilogy composed of _Mistress of Mistresses_, _A Fish Dinner in Memison, and _The Mezentian Gate_. Eddison did not live to fully complete the work.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_R%C3%BCcker_Eddison for further information about Eddison.

Thus far, _The Worm Ouroborous_ is the only one that seems to have been converted to electronic format. Another version of Ouroboros was previously made available here for the Sony Reader, provided by Dr. Drib. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ight=ouroboros

This edition for Mobipocket includes the illustrations from the original book publication. The text I used, and the illustrations, are courtesy of The Internet Sacred Text Archive, and available here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/ring/two/index.htm

I have followed the placement of illustrations in my Ballantine paperback edition of The Worm Ouroboros_ when creating this version.

I'll happily supply my source files if someone else wants to create a Sony, ePub, or other editions, or you can grab what I started with from the link above.
