E. R. Eddisons classic saga novel now in paperbackincludes for the first time Eddisons remarkable letter of introduction and his unabridged closing note Styrbiorn the Strong tells the grand tale of Styrbiorn Olafsson, heir to the Swedish throne and known both for his impressive size and strength and his unruly, quarrelsome nature. Denied his birthright and exiled from Sweden, Styrbiorn becomes the leader of the Jomsvikings and sets out to reclaim the Swedish throne in the epic Battle of Frisvellir. A rediscovered classic, Styrbiorn the Strong is a tale reminiscent of the Old Norse sagas, a historical novel from one of the twentieth centurys most influential masters of fantasy.

"The greatest and most convincing writer of invented worlds that I have read."J. R. R. Tolkien "The archaic manner . . . you have to do it perfectly. Its a high wire: one slip spoils all. The man who did it perfectly was, of course, Eddison. If you love language for its own sake, he is irresistible."Ursula K. Le Guin "In a word, Eddisons books are works, first and foremost, of art. And they are irreplaceable."C. S. Lewis
