http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/e/e-r-eddison/worm-ouroboros.htm It's the little reddish one on the far right, the cover for the 1967 paperback edition, which is the edition I had (have?).


I read a lot of fantasy back in those days, many by some of the early 20th century authors like James Branch Cabell, H. Rider Haggard, C. S. Lewis, Lovecraft, George MacDonald - certainly others whose names I can't recall at the moment.

However, being a contrarian, I absolutely refused to read Tolkien, since Tolkien was all the rage in those days (mid/late 60s). I have still not read him, and may very well never do so. Just because.

(edited to delete a couple authors who didn't belong in that grouping, add one who does, and correct a spelling error.)
