A poignant memoir and tribute to the Oxford poet Nairn by the author who went on to create the groundbreaking Zimiamvia fantasy cycle. Eric Rucker Eddison's first book, originally published privately in hardback during the First World War, is a poignant memoir and tribute to the Oxford poet Nairn whose work was so inspired by his Scottish ancestry and life in the Lake District. This first official paperback edition marks the centenary of Nairn's untimely death in Kuala Lumpur in May 1914 aged just 30 years old.
